Dream Girl, which grossed  Rs 10.05 crore  on its first day, has become Ayushmann’s biggest opener (in terms of ticket sales) till date. According to  Bollywood Hungama, it is now among the top 10 films of this year that have achieved the biggest opening day numbers. The actor is known to take up unconventional roles such as Vicky Donor, his debut film where he played a sperm donor, or Sriram Raghavan’s  Andhadhun , where he played a blind pianist sucked into a murder mystery. Dream Girl, directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, follows a small town man played by Ayushmann, who can perfectly mimic a woman’s voice. He takes up the job of a telecaller, where he chats with strangers over the phone in his feminine voice and under a false name — Pooja. Many of Pooja’s callers end up falling in love with her voice, leading to hilarious consequences. Dream Girl also stars Nushrat Bharucha, Annu Kapoor, Vijay Raaz, Abhishek Bannerjee, Manjot Singh, Nidhi Bisht, Rajesh Sharma and Raj Bhansali.
