Actors Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan-starrer romantic comedy film Badrinath Ki Dulhania has crossed the Rs.100 crore mark at the domestic box office.

The Shashank Khaitan directorial, which released on March 10, collected Rs.100.74 crore till Thursday, read a statement issued on behalf of the makers.

Filmmaker Karan Johar, who has backed the film under his Dharma Productions banner, thanked fans for their support.

"Thank you for the abundant love," Karan wrote on Friday while re-tweeting a post by his banner's official Twitter handle announcing the news.

"Badrinath Ki Dulhania" is the fourth Bollywood film in 2017 to cross the Rs 100 crore mark after Shah Rukh Khan's "Raees" (Rs.137.51 crore), Hrithik Roshan-starrer "Kaabil" (103.84 crore) and Akshay Kumar's Jolly LLB 2, which minted Rs.116.92 crore after six weeks since its release. It is still running in theatres.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted: "‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania' joins Rs.100 crore club. Varun's third film (ABCD 2, Dilwale and Badrinath Ki Dulhania). Alia's second (2 States and Badrinath Ki Dulhania)."

It is said that the film has clicked with the audience not just because of Varun and Alia's onscreen chemistry — earlier seen in Student of The Year  and Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania — but also because of its hit soundtrack. A fresh take on the popular song Tamma tamma is also part of the album.
