AndhaDhun, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Tabu and Radhika Apte, started the second week at the box office on an enthusiastic note, trade analyst Taran Adarsh. AndhaDhun ended the first week with a bang at collecting Rs 150 crore. "AndhaDhun crosses Rs 150 crore in China... Starts week 2 on an enthusiastic note... Will comfortably swim past $25 mn in weekend 2... The total so far is $21.76 million (Rs 150.51 crore)," tweeted Taran Adarsh.
