Despite opposition from fringe groups and so on, Ayushmann Khurrana's Article 15 managed to collect Rs. 5.02 crore at the box office on its first day. Article 15 revolves around the story of a gang rape and murder case of two teenage girls in the Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh.

On the second day of its release, Article 15 has managed to rake in Rs 7.25 crore, despite stiff competition from the ongoing World Cup matches. Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to confirm the same. He tweeted: "#Article15 jumps on Day 2... Trending very well at urban centres specifically... Should maintain the strong momentum on Day 3, although #INDvENG [#CWC19] cricket match might act as a speed breaker... Fri 5.02 cr, Sat 7.25 cr. Total: Rs 12.27 cr. India biz."
