Alia Bhatt and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s first-ever collaboration, Gangubai Kathiawadi is working big time at the box office. Right from day 1, the film has performed beyond expectations and has made a smashing entry into week 2.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magical run continues with Gangubai. And also for Alia, the film has come as a much-needed money-spinner. Her last theatrical release was Kalank, which was a theatrical disaster. It took a flying start but then witnessed a fall like ninepins. But here, it’s totally opposite.
Gangubai Kathiawadi grew over the first weekend with a positive word of mouth. It did a brilliant job by staying rock steady on weekdays. On the second Friday i.e. day 8, the film witnessed a minimal fall despite new releases arriving in theatres. On day 8, it earned 4.30-4.90 crores, which is a minimal fall from 5.40 crores on day 7. While The Batman and Jhund have taken a good number of screens away, such numbers just show the reception of the film among the audience.

A couple of days ago, an unseen picture from the premiere of Gangubai Kathiawadi made its way to the internet and had gone viral.
