Gangubai Kathiawadi Day 1 Box Office Collection: Alia Bhatt’s Film Gets An Impressive Opening

Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali’s
period
drama

Gangubai
Kathiawadi
featuring
Alia
Bhatt
arrived
in
cinema
halls
on
Friday
(February
25).
One
of
the
most
anticipated
releases
of
2022,
the
movie
opened
to
mixed
reactions
from
the
audience
with
praises
coming
in
Alia’s
way
for
her
powerful
performance
in
the
titular
role.

Speaking
about
its
performance
at
the
box
office
on
the
first
day
of
its
release,
early
reports
suggest
that
the
Alia
Bhatt-starrer
opened
on
a
good
note
with
10-15%
occupancy
despite
its
niche
content
and
low-key
promotions.
The
film
is
expected
to
have
fared
well
in
states
like
Maharashtra
and
Gujarat.

Gangubai
Kathiawadi
Movie
Review:
Alia
Bhatt
Plays
Her
Trump
Card
&
Wins
Hearts
Despite
Lazy
Writing

When
it
comes
to
its
box
office
numbers,
early
trends
suggest
that

Gangubai
Kathiawadi
minted
an
opening
of
around
Rs
6-8
crore
on
its
first
day
of
release.

If
trade
sources
are
to
be
believed,
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali’s
latest
outing
is
the
most
expensive
female-centric
film
to
date,
including
its
production
cost,
P&A
(print
and
advertising)
and
investment
increased
due
to
the
prolonged
delay.
One
hears
that
the
makers
have
already
recovered
a
decent
amount
from
its
satellite,
digital
and
audio
rights.

Kathiawadi
Box
Office
Prediction:
Will
Alia
Bhatt-Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali’s
Film
Rule
The
Box
Office?

Gangubai
Kathiawadi
marks
Alia
Bhatt’s
first
collaboration
with
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali.
Based
on
a
chapter
from
Hussain
Zaidi-Jane
Borges’
popular
novel
‘Mafia
Queens
Of
Mumbai’,
the
film
stars
the
actress
as
one
of
the
most
powerful
brothel
madams
in
Mumbai’s
Kamathipura
zone
in
the
60s.

Alia
in
an
interaction
with
dw.com
had
said
that
playing
Gangubai
was
extremely
nourishing
for
her
and
added,
“I
can
say
that
after
doing
this
film,
I’ve
opened
up
so
many
more
facets
in
my
brain,
as
a
person,
as
a
personality,
about
things
people
can
feel
or
go
through
than
I
did
before.”
