Deadpool 2 box office collection day 1: Ryan Reynolds' film takes a bumper opening

Mumbai: Hollywood's latest superhero flick 'Deadpool 2' earned Rs. 11 crore on the opening day - in English and dubbed versions. The Ryan Reynolds starrer now ranks fourth on the list of top openers of 2018 in India.

Noted trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the box office numbers as he tweeted, "#Deadpool2 takes an EXCELLENT START... FOURTH BIGGEST Day 1 - 2018 [Hindi + Hollywood films]... Expect biz to multiply on Sat and Sun... Fri ₹ 11.25 cr NettBOC. India biz... Note: English + Hindi + Tamil + Telugu."

"Hollywood films are strengthening and cementing their reach in India. Deadpool 2 has an 'Adult' certification, yet the opening day is in double digits. Proves, yet again, Hollywood event films/popular franchises are massive crowd pullers," reads Adarsh's another tweet.

Deccan Chronicle critic Mayur Sanap praised the film, he wrote: “The most enjoyable aspect of the Deadpool series is that it doesn't follow the traditional comic book movie guidelines. Instead, it tries to be its own unique entity with its crude jokes and parody. Like the predecessor, 'Deadpool 2' often breaks the 'fourth wall' by making jokes about various other pop-culture fads and also other movies. It is that refreshing and unique take on the superhero genre that helps keep it from getting stale.”

'Deadpool 2', a sequel to 2016 'Deadpool' movie, is directed by David Leitch and it also stars Josh Brolin, Julian Dennison, Zazie Beetz, TJ Miller, Brianna Hildebrand, Jack Kesy and Stefan Kapicic.

Interestingly, Bollywood heartthrob Ranveer Singh has lent the voice for the superhero for the Hindi version.
