Vicky Kaushal has arrived, and how.
As an actor, he has impressed us, right from the days of 2015’s award-winning Masaan.
Now, he’s consistently delivering good openings at the box office.
He has delivered three hits in just a little over 12 months — the romcom Zara HatkZara Bachke, the biopic Sam Bahadur and his latest release, Bad Newz.
In recent times, the only aberration has been last year’s The Great Indian Family , which saw one of his lowest grossers ever.
Vicky will be seen next in Laxman Utekar’s historical Chhaava, which will aim for a weekend number of Rs 50 crore. If that happens, the actor can count himself in the big league.
Joginder Tuteja takes a look at Vicky’s Top 10 biggest openers as a leading actor, excluding films like Sanju and Dunki, where he played supporting roles.
