Padmaavat mints Rs. 166 crores at BO on opening week
Mumbai, Feb 2 (IBNS): Deepika Padukone's latest released epic movie Padmaavat has earned Rs. 166 crores at the Box Office so far.
The movie released on Jan 25.
And in a week, Padmaavat has earned strong response from the box office despite protests and non screening of the film in few states.
The movie, which was earlier titled Padmavati, was earlier scheduled to release on Dec 1. The movie, amid protests over content by some fringe group, was released in the new year amid violence and strong demonstrations against it in few states.
" Had it been a smooth, all-India release, #Padmaavat would’ve comfortably crossed ₹ 200 cr in its [extended] Week 1... The film lost out on [approx] ₹ 50 cr+ due to no-screening in few states + protests... Its international biz is REMARKABLE [esp North America and Australia]," film critic Taran Adarsh tweeted.
"#Padmaavat is expected to surpass *lifetime biz* of #BajiraoMastani in Weekend 2... Will emerge SLB’s HIGHEST GROSSER... Wed [limited previews] 5 cr, Thu 19 cr, Fri 32 cr, Sat 27 cr, Sun 31 cr, Mon 15 cr, Tue 14 cr, Wed 12.50 cr, Thu 11 cr. Total: ₹ 166.50 cr. India biz. ," he said.
The movie was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
The film also featured actors Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh.
