Well! there is great news Dolly ki Doli has garnered Rs 2.55Cr on its very first day, which is remarkable! Sonam has been receiving rave reviews for her brilliant performance and the film is said to do steady business over the long weekend! 
Well! kudos to team Dolly ki Doli for such a flying start.
Essaying the role of Dolly, Sonam Kapoor charmingly cons men into marrying her and then dupes them for their money. The comedy- drama also stars Pulkit Samrat , Rajkummar Rao and Varun Sharma swooning over the adorable Dolly and vying to marry her. From what we hear, the industry insiders who have seen the film have absolutely loved the film. 
The music of the film has caught up massively and the audiences are going gaga over the tracks of the film. Right from Malaika's smashing moves in Fashion Khatam to Sonam's thumkas in Phatte Take Nachna to the new youth anthem Babaji ka Thulu, the music has also been making the right noises, a little literally.

BABY clocks in an impressive Rs 9.3 Cr on opening Friday with solid growth in evening and night shows. Superlative word of mouth and reports and great start to a non-conventional film with no songs.

The first look poster of BABY had Akshay Kumar in an action avatar, a heavy imagery and unusual title, which set the tone of the movie and generated curiosity value. The Teaser had already made BABY count amongst the most-talked about films on social media platforms.
The teaser, aptly titled ‘Baby Sizzle’ went viral in just a few minutes from launch. Seeing the excitement for the launch of the first look by fans, Akshay Kumar himself tweeted the teaser of the movie. Akshay Kumar as we all are aware has several fan clubs pan India and across the world who demanded to have a look at BABY as they were very excited for it, we hear the BABY team specially cut a short teaser for everyone to have a look at it.The action-packed teaser takes the viewer behind the scenes and gets the viewer close to the pace and adrenaline of the film. 
 The mutual respect and friendship that developed during the making of Special 26, led to Akshay becoming Neeraj’s first choice even when he was scripting Baby. The result was one action-packed ride while making the film. The shooting of the film spanned far and wide, from Kathmandu and Istanbul to Abu Dhabi, Mumbai and Delhi. 
Clearly the verdict is out, people have loved and enjoyed the film and seeing their very own actor in an action packed hard hitting avatar again!!

More than 900 Dolby Atmos screens have been installed or committed to in more than 40 countries with more than 250 exhibitor partners. More than 200 films from 17 different countries have been or are scheduled to be released with Dolby Atmos sound since the first film debuted in June 2012.
