Bollywood’s one of the most promising actors, Ayushmann Khurrana, known for his choice of films that highlight social issues, is back with another medical comedy film, Doctor G.
The film, which was one of the least hyped projects of Ayushmann is doing well, or we can say better than everyone has expected, at the Box-Office and it seems it will cover up the disappointment that his “Anek” faced, which was his one of the most awaited films till date.
Doctor G Reviews
This comedy entertainer follows the struggle of Ayushmann’s character Dr. Uday Gupta a.k.a. Guddu, who is the male gynaecologist and brings the issues and issues they face, with a dose of comedy, before the audience.
It also stars Rakul Preet Singh as Dr. Fatima was opposite Ayushmann, whereas Shefali Shah played his senior Dr. Nandini Srivasatav and Sheeba Chaddha as his mother. Abhay Mishra plays the role of Ayushmann’s best friend, Chaddi.
The film opened above expectations at the box-office and received a decent critical acclaim. The film brings the lost audience of Ayushmann, due to his last outings, back into theatres.

#OneWordReview…#DoctorG: DECENT.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Interesting premise, engrossing drama [second half keeps you hooked], neat performances [#AyushmannKhurrana, #ShefaliShah] are a big plus… Patchy first half [humour falls flat] and forgettable music are downers. #DoctorGReview pic.twitter.com/FVNUyVtI5X

Doctor G Box-Office Report
The film is doing well in multiplexes and can prove people wrong who often talk about the rare scope of the market for mid-sized films. However, there is still a long way to go for the film to be called a blockbuster hit and word of mouth will decide it further in the upcoming days.
As per movie critic Taran Adarsh, the film, made on a budget of Rs. 30-35 crore, grossed around Rs. 3.78 crore on the opening day, which is a lot more than expected.
Despite low pre-release buzz, #DoctorG puts up a decent total on Day 1… National chains fare better, while mass pockets are extremely dull… Has scope for improvement on Day 2 and 3… Needs that push for a respectable weekend total… Fri ₹ 3.87 cr. #India biz. pic.twitter.com/dEtKtP7Tcd
