Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, was released on Friday and received positive reviews from critics. Despite being one of the most highly-anticipated releases, the film faces competition from South Indian films Valimai and Bheemla Nayak.
In overseas markets, where these South Indian films were released earlier, Gangubai Kathiawadi will have a more challenging time in attracting audiences due to the established popularity of the other films. The film will have to overcome this competition to gain the audience’s favor and establish a strong performance at the box office.
Despite the competition from Valimai and Bheemla Nayak, the Alia Bhatt starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, has been seeing significant growth in its box office collections on a daily basis. This is due to the favorable reviews and positive word of mouth the film has received.
Although the film’s collections were lower on the first day of release, by the third day, it is likely to surpass the daily collections of Valimai and Bheemla Nayak in most overseas territories. This is a clear indication that the film has been able to resonate with audiences and has been able to attract a significant number of viewers. The positive performance of the film in the overseas markets is a good indication of its potential for success.
