On Tuesday, Bala’s box office performance exceeded expectations, accumulating Rs. 9.52 crores. This success follows the excellent start of the film on Friday with Rs. 10.15 crores and Monday staying strong at Rs. 8.26 crores, resulting in immense appreciation from viewers and critics alike.
Guru Nanak Jayanti’s holiday undoubtedly boosted the movie’s earnings in Delhi NCR, Punjab, and Haryana. Nonetheless, for Bala to amass a sizable amount of money on a regular working day implies that the film has been widely accepted and appreciated by audiences. It proves that when the content is appealing enough, even the most successful films can gather large crowds during national holidays or big festivals.
The current box office figures of the film stand at Rs. 61.73 crores, a number which is beyond satisfying for the makers. Nevertheless, the aim for this first week has been set higher – an estimate of anywhere between Rs. 73-75 crores that would be absolutely remarkable. A slight dip in collections is expected today since it’s a regular workday but the movie has already done its job. From here onwards, all that remains to be seen is how far Bala goes with its success.
