Alia
Bhatt's
latest
release
Gangubai
Kathiawadi
is
ruling
the
box
office
and
slowly
inching
towards
the
50-crore
mark.
Riding
high
on
positive
word
of
mouth
despite
receiving
mixed
reviews
from
the
critics,
the
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
directorial
has
revived
the
business
in
Hindi
cinema
which
had
suffered
a
setback
owing
to
the
third
wave
of
COVID-19.
Speaking
about
its
performance
at
box
office
on
Monday,
the
Alia
Bhatt-starrer
passed
with
flying
colors.
Early
estimates
suggest
that
the
biographical
crime
drama
collected
around
Rs
6-7
crore
on
Day
4.
So
far,
the
film
had
an
excellent
weekend
collection
at
the
box
office
as
it
collected
Rs
39.12
crore
in
three
days.
Gangubai
Kathiawadi
received
an
impressive
opening
of
Rs
10.50
crore
on
Friday
despite
50%
occupany
in
key
circuits
like
Mumbai
and
Delhi.
It
went
on
to
collect
Rs
13.32
crore
on
Saturday
and
Rs
15.30
crore
on
Sunday.
Reportedly,
the
period
drama
saw
a
boost
in
its
collections
in
places
like
Mumbai,
Thane,
Pune,
Gujarat,
Delhi
amongst
others.
While
Alia's
film
has
managed
to
keep
a
steady
hold
on
Monday,
the
film
is
expected
to
pick
up
business
on
Tuesday
which
marks
holiday
for
Mahashivratri.
The
business
on
Day
5
and
Day
6
will
prove
crucial
for
the
film
and
will
decide
if
the
film
succeeds
in
crossing
the
60-crore
mark
in
Week
1.
Gangubai
Kathiawadi
is
faring
well
in
overseas
markets
as
well.
