The Taj Story Box Office Collection Day 3
On its third day, The Taj Story has earned ₹2.21 crore at the box office according to Sacnilk, taking its total collection to a solid ₹5.11 crore in India net. Sunday turned out to be the movie’s best day so far, which always feels a little satisfying, like checking your fantasy league score and finding a surprise win. Usually, box office numbers fluctuate based on reviews and word-of-mouth, but The Taj Story managed a jump which probably put a smile on the faces of Paresh Rawal’s fans (and possibly the producers too).
You know, it’s always a different vibe walking into a Sunday show. There’s the crowd families, college kids still buzzing from the weekend, a section of die-hard Bollywood lovers. The energy in the theater really can give the screens a boost. That’s somewhat reflected in the stats: occupancy hit around 40.78% across Hindi shows, with afternoon and evening slots packed tighter than the morning ones.
Occupancy & Audience Details
First up: on Sunday, most people skipped sleepy morning shows (who wakes up early for drama anyway?) but the afternoons saw nearly half the seats filled. Evening shows clocked an impressive 55.3% occupancy, so you can guess the film’s courtroom drama and historical intrigue kept people interested well past the popcorn’s halfway point. Been there—sometimes you buy tickets for the cast, sometimes for the promise of something “different.” Here, it seems both worked in favor.
| Day | India Net Collection |
|---|---|
| Day 1 [1st Friday] | ₹ 1 Cr |
| Day 2 [1st Saturday] | ₹ 1.9 Cr |
| Day 3 [1st Sunday] | ₹ 2.21 Cr * early estimates |
| Total | ₹ 5.11 Cr |
What’s “authentic” about The Taj Story’s three-day run isn’t just the numbers; it’s how a film that got mixed reviews and faced pre-release controversy still became the go-to pick for a Sunday watch. The story behind the film almost mirrors its journey: unexpected, debated, yet ultimately gathering momentum. There’s an anecdote floating around someone left a glowing note about the performances on a cinema foyer board, while two college students got into a lively debate over whether the historical stuff was fact or fiction. Typical weekend movie shenanigans.
