Padmaavat has emerged a huge winner at the box office as it grossed 27.50 crore nett on Saturday to take its three day total to 80.50 crore nett including paid previews. The film did not even drop in Delhi city and East Punjab after the big national holiday as these circuits have come on board in a huge way which is a first for a Bhansali film.
The film could now go anywhere as now the content has worked and its getting the numbers whereas initially it was external factors. The film is a universal winner which means the circuits not playing would also have been doing optimum business. It is that first huge blockbuster in the 20 odd career of Sanjay Leela Bhansali but whether the blockbuster numbers come is anoather matter as the film is not being allowed to do its maximum business. Slowly more places are opening up but still a lot of potential business is missing.
Normally Sunday growth would be huge for the film but here the big growth areas of Gujarat, Rajasthan and CI are not playing and other huge growth areas like UP and Bihar are not at full potential. The business of Padmaavat till date is as follows.
Thursday - 4,25,00,000 apprx
Friday - 17,75,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 31,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 27,50,00,000 apprx
Grand Total - 80,50,00,000
Note the Saturday figures may have plus/minus 5% variance due to the clustered release of the film.
