#BadrinathKiDulhania joins ₹ 100 cr Club... Varun's third film [#ABCD2, #Dilwale, #BKD]... Alia's second [#2States, #BKD]... — taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) March 24, 2017

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. With inputs from IANS
