Paresh Rawal’s latest courtroom drama The Taj Story is slowly picking up steam at the box office. Despite mixed reviews from both critics and audiences, the numbers suggest that this film could turn into a surprise success. The initial surge over the weekend has certainly caught everyone’s attention.
Huge Jump on Saturday
On its second day, Saturday, November 1, The Taj Story collected ₹1.9 crore, marking a massive 111% jump from its opening day earnings of ₹0.9 crore. This brings the film’s two-day total to ₹2.8 crore net and ₹3.3 crore gross in India.
Holding Strong Amid Big Releases
Even though the film is facing stiff competition from other releases like Baahubali: The Epic (Hindi), Thamma, and Kantara: Chapter 1 (Hindi), Paresh Rawal’s movie has managed to cement its position at the box office.
On Day 2, the courtroom drama recorded 35% occupancy, which is significantly higher than Baahubali: The Epic’s 14% on the same day. This indicates that audiences are showing increasing interest in Rawal’s powerful performance and the film’s unique subject matter.
