Ayan Mukherjee’s second directorial venture, ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Aditya Roy Kapur and Kalki Koechlin witnessed a super opening in terms of box office collections.
Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone starrer 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani', which opened in 162 theatres worldwide on Friday, earned 1.6 million dollars.
Box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian told the New York Post that it was very unusual to see a Bollywood film in top 10, asserting that sometimes these movies did crack into the top 20 or top 15 (domestically).
He said that they are usually not released in that many theatres but make a big splash.
The cast of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is the story of the relationship between two characters, Bunny (Ranbir Kapoor) & Naina (Deepika Padukone), at two separate but defining times in their lives. First, when they are just out of college and standing on the crossroads of multiple decisions that will shape who and what they become. And then later on, in their late-twenties when they meet again, holding on to certain fulfilled and certain unfulfilled dreams, at a crossroads of another nature this time.How these two characters affect, change, befriend and eventually fall in love with each other is the journey the film aspires to take us on.
As reported, the film opened on 31 May with a huge 95% to 100% occupancy, managing to secure a roaring business. Audiences have seemed to love the light-hearted romantic comedy, and given it a resounding round of applause going by the box office figures in the opening weekend.

1. Fast and Furious 6 – 34.5 million dollars
2. Now You See Me – 28.05 million dollars
