With no pre-release buzz whatsoever, the film registered a dismal start and, further, due to a lack of awareness and poor word of mouth, failed to show any growth in the following days. Amid a good run of Bhooth Bangla, it got completely lost and wrapped up its box office run in just one week. Keep reading for a closing collection report! The Bollywood romantic comedy film was theatrically released on April 24. It received mostly negative reviews from critics, and even among the audience, it had disappointing word of mouth. With such a reception, the film didn’t witness any turnaround after a negligible start of 25 lakh. In its lifetime run, the film couldn’t even reach the 2 crore mark in net collections. How much did Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 earn at the Indian box office? As mentioned above, …

Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 Opening Day Box Office: Avinash Tiwary and Medha Shankr starrer takes POOR start, nets Rs 20 lakh on Day 1

Ginny Wedss Sunny 2, starring Avinash Tiwary and Medha Shankr in the lead roles, opened on a dismal note. As per estimates, the romantic comedy drama, directed by Prasshant Jha, collected in the vicinity of Rs. 20 lakh to Rs. 25 lakh on its opening day at the Indian box office. That’s a poor start to say the least.  The dull opening of the romantic comedy drama was already expected as it couldn’t impress the audience with its promotional assets, including trailer and songs, which would have helped it take a reasonable start.  The movie needs to show miraculous growth over the weekend in order to reach a respectable total. Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 opened to mixed-bag reactions among the audience, which must be concerning for the makers. The romantic drama was always meant to be a low starter, but it would have seen a good growth if it had received a positive reception. But now, things seem difficult for the film.  For the unversed, Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 is the spiritual sequel of the 2020 release Ginny Weds …

Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 box office collection day 1: Avinash Tiwary and Medha Shankr’s rom-com, Ginny Wedss Sunny 2, was always going to be in an uphill battle at the ticket window, given the lukewarm buzz around its release.

Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 movie review: Avinash Tiwary, Medha Shankr can’t save this confused rom-com | Movie-review News

3 min readApr 24, 2026 05:39 PM IST Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 movie review: Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 is exactly the kind of rom-com that Bollywood is constrained to doing these days, in an era swinging wildly between minority drubbing and bhajan clubbing: empty of fresh ideas, trying to please the conservatives and the so-called moderns, going exactly nowhere. High-school dropout Shivansh aka Sunny (Avinash Tiwary) is a kushti-loving fellow who is careful to wear a langot which looks more like a pair of shorts. His big ambition is to wrestle at the national level, but a wrong video going viral puts paid to that plan, leaving him unhappy and unfulfilled in his Rishikesh house, which he shares with his father (Sudhir Pandey), and older brother and bhabhi, and a tenant who doubles up as the ‘hero ka BFF’. Ginny (Medha Shankr) lives in Delhi with her mother (Lillette Dubey). If the sanskari, Hindi-spouting Shivansh is your standard chalk, the drinking-partying English-speaking Ginny is cheese, and the first half is comprehensively wasted in trying to …

Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 review: Avinash Tiwary, Medha Shankr go through the motions in an occasionally funny rom-com

Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 Director: Prasshant Jha Cast: Avinash Tiwary, Medha Shankr, Lillete Dubey, Sudhir Pandey Rating: ★★⯪ It’s a curious thing, how rom-coms often feel like the same wine poured into different glasses. The beats are familiar, the turns expected, and yet, they remain a staple of the Indian film industry. Watching Ginny Wedss Sunny 2, a film that rarely strays from the predictable, one is reminded of countless others that have walked the exact path. And still, the question lingers: does that familiarity take away from this experience? Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 review: Medha Shankr and Avinash Tiwary in a still from the film. Interestingly, the original Ginny Weds Sunny (2020) had skipped theatres for a direct-to-OTT release, with Yami Gautam Dhar and Vikrant Massey in the lead. The sequel opting for a theatrical run suggests the first film delivered numbers strong enough for the makers to double down, making this follow-up written and directed by Prasshant Jha, something of an anomaly.

Avinash Tiwary & Medha Shankr Starrer Set For Dismal Opening

Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 Box Office Day 1 Prediction(Photo Credit –Instagram) It’s a new week, and this Friday (April 24), we’ll witness a fresh Bollywood release in the form of Ginny Wedss Sunny 2. It stars Avinash Tiwary and Medha Shankr in the lead roles, offering a fresh romantic pair to the audience. Both actors have proven their acting potential, and even this time, they don’t seem to disappoint. However, as far as day 1 collection is concerned, the film is heading for a poor start at the Indian box office. Keep reading for a detailed prediction report! Sequel factor won’t help For those who don’t know, the upcoming romantic comedy is a spiritual sequel to Yami Gautam and Vikrant Massey’s Ginny Weds Sunny, which was released directly on OTT. Since the first installment had limited reach, there wasn’t really a demand for a sequel. Yes, a sequel factor always helps, but in this case, due to a lack of genuine interest on the ground, the film won’t benefit from it. Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 …
