Golmaal Again however, remains the ultimate blockbuster, having entered the Rs 200 crore club this week. The Rohit Shetty-directed multi ensemble cast film starring Ajay Devgn, Parineeti Chopra, Tabu, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor in lead roles released on 20 October and got the boost that it needed owing to the fact that it was the Diwali weekend (19 October). In its 24th day, the film has become one of the biggest movies from Bollywood in 2017, and is the first film of Devgn, and second of Shetty to enter the Rs 200 crore club, according to Adarsh.
