After a long wait of more than 100 days since the release of Akshay Kumar’s film Sooryavanshi, it seems that Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi has finally emerged as a box office success. Although there was a dubbed Hindi version of Pushpa that was released in between and kept audiences entertained, the wait was on for a true Bollywood offering to make a significant impact at the box office.
Gangubai Kathiawadi has finally fulfilled this expectation as it has seen a steady flow of audiences in theaters for two consecutive days. This is a clear indication that the film has been able to resonate with audiences and has managed to attract a significant number of viewers. The success of Gangubai Kathiawadi is a positive sign for the film indus
The film’s box office success was evident on Saturday, when it saw a significant increase in ticket sales, with a collection of Rs. 13.32 crores, following Friday’s collection of Rs. 10.50 crores. This represents a jump of 26.86% in collections from the first day of release, which is a positive sign for the film’s performance.
Although a higher number would have been ideal, the fact that there is growth in collections is a good indication of the film’s success. Furthermore, today being Sunday, it is likely to be a big day for the film as it is a weekend, and with positive word of mouth spreading about the film, it is expected that the collections will continue to increase. The growth in collections is a reason to celebrate for the film’s creators and it is likely that it will continue to perform well in the coming days.
As of now, the film produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Jayantilal Gada has collected a total of Rs. 23.50 crores* at the box office. With the weekend coming to an end, it is expected that the film will comfortably reach the Rs. 38 crores mark. If the film manages to exceed this amount, it would be an added bonus, considering the budget of the film. However, for the film to be considered a success, it is important that it continues to attract audiences in the second week as well.
The current trend of the film’s performance suggests that the recovery for the film is almost guaranteed. With positive word of mouth spreading and the film receiving good reviews, it is likely that the film will continue to perform well in the coming days. The recovery of the film is crucial as it will help to offset the costs of production, and ensure that the film’s creators can continue to make successful films in the future. The film Gangubai Kathiawadi seems to be on the right track to be a box office success.
