MUMBAI: Dharma Productions’ ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, directed by Ayan Mukherjee, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Aditya Roy Kapur and Kalki Koechlin, is well on its way to becoming a Rs 100 crore generator.
Going by the Day 4 figures, it is very likely that the Ranbir-Deepika starrer ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ will cross the 100-crore mark easily in a matter of days. On Monday, ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ did a roaring business of Rs 129 million (12.9 crore) net, which is phenomenal, considering Monday’s bring about a drastic drop in collections for most films.
The four-day total for ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ is in the range of Rs 753.6 million (Rs 75.36 crore) net.
As reported, the film witnessed a record-breaking opening weekend, amassing a mammoth opening on 31 May, Friday to the tune of Rs 197.5 million (Rs 19.75 crore).

But with Day 4 collections of ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ beating the Day 4 figures of Salman Khan’s blockbuster ‘Dabangg 2’, Karan Johar truly has a winner on his hands.
