Dream Girl has Ayushmann playing Karamvir Singh, a small-town boy, who can mimic a woman's voice. His father Jagjeet (Annu Kapoor) is debt-ridden, so Karambir finds a job as a tele-caller, where he chats with strangers over the phone in his feminine voice and under a false name — Pooja. Nushrat Bharucha plays his love interest, Mahi Rajput.
Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, the film released to mixed reviews. But it's box office run proved that Ayushmann has yet again struck gold with the audience. It was also the biggest opener of Ayushmann's career, earning Rs 10.05 crore on Day 1, beating Badhaai Ho, which opened at 7.35 crore.
