While Badrinath Ki Dulhania has taken a very good opening at the Box Office and set records for Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt and 2017 in general, here is another fact that would go down in the record books. The film has found an entry amongst the Top-10 Biggest Romantic Openers in the recent times. This isn’t all as Karan Johar has five of his films in this list – Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Shaandaar, Badrinath Ki Dulhania and 2 States, which conveys a lot about how he is the undisputed leader when it comes to presenting romantic entertainers to the audiences.
