Not only the domestic audience but the Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor’s Padmaavat is witnessing love galore from the foreign audience as well. Padmaavat which released on January 25 amidst huge protest from the Karni Sena had earned a mere Rs 19 cr on the opening day. That was a meagre amount to expect from a film which had a whopping budget and a sky-high hype. Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh starrer received an overwhelming response in spite of protests and violence in some parts of the country. But the film had a fairer earning on day 2 and its day 3 collection is Rs. 27 crores.Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, ”Padmaavat continues to SPARKLE… Biz on Sat [after a big holiday on Fri] was EXCEPTIONAL… Will comfortably cross ₹ 100 cr mark today [Sun]… Wed [limited preview shows] 5 cr, Thu 19 cr, Fri 32 cr, Sat 27 cr. Total: ₹ 83 cr. India biz.” The film has collected Rs 83 crore already and that is in line with what Bajirao Mastani had collected in its entire first week [Rs. 86.15 crore]. The way the film is progressing, by Monday its being speculated that the film will surpass the lifetime collection of Rs 118.7 cr.

Padmaavat has also got the advantage of an extended weekend (Friday being Republic Day), the film is sure to reap the benefit of the long holiday. The scare factor amongst audiences had started diminishing. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeting on the day 2 collection wrote, ”Padmaavat has a HUMONGOUS Day 2… Had it been a smooth release [some states are not screening the film], the all-India biz would’ve touched ₹ 40 cr… Wed 5 cr, Thu 19 cr, Fri 32 cr. Total: ₹ 56 cr. India biz… SUPERB!” The film has indeed shown a welcome change in its collection and the long weekend makes sure that more is yet to come.
