The Indian box office is seeing a golden period as most of the films that have released have gone on to mint a hell of a lot of money at the theatres. Deadpool 2, Raazi, Bucket List, Parmanu-The Story of Pokhran and 102 Not Out are all doing roaring business at the box office.
Deadpool 2 fared well on the weekend but declined on weekdays. However, it has crossed the lifetime business of the first Deadpool and all its versions viz Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and English have done well and raked in the moolah. It has already raked in Rs 48.18 crore net box offices till date and is expected to cash in on during the weekends as well. The Ryan Reynolds starrer film was another superhero film after Avengers: Infinity War that appealed to the Indian audiences. The Hindi version dubbed by Ranveer Singh also was much appreciated by the public as it remained true to the character and was a rarity in the dubbed films genre.
