The Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial Gangubai Kathiawadi starring Alia Bhatt released a week ago; since then the film has been unstoppable at the box office. After opening on a good note the collections of the film saw an increase over its opening weekend while remaining more or less stable on its first Monday. Now at the close of its first week in theatres, the collections of Gangubai Kathiawadi are pegged at Rs. 68.93 cr.

In this box office report, we take a look at the opening week collections of Gangubai Kathiawadi while comparing the same to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s previous releases. Collecting Rs. 68.93 cr Gangubai Kathiawadi manages to surpass Guzaarish that had collected Rs. 22 cr to become Sanjay’s 4th highest all-time opening week grosser. Besides Guzaarish, the collections of Gangubai Kathiawadi far overshadow the filmmaker’s other releases as well like, Saawariya that collected Rs. 16.86 cr, Devdas that collected Rs. 11.78 cr, Black that collected Rs. 6.47 cr, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam that collected Rs. 5.74 cr, and Khamoshi: The Musical that had collected Rs. 2.93 cr. However, the business of Gangubai Kathiawadi does not manage to surpass the collections of some of Bhansali’s other releases like, Padmaavat that collected Rs. 166.50 cr, Bajirao Mastani that collected Rs. 86.15 cr, and Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela that collected Rs. 82.15 cr.

As of now, Gangubai Kathiawadi still continues to run in theatres with audience patronizing the film in droves. In fact, with theatre functioning resuming normalcy with 100% occupancy it is likely that the business of the film will see immense growth. Given the current positive trend and the fact that Gangubai Kathiawadi has maintained its momentum at the box office, it is likely that the business of the film will close the gap to the Rs. 100 cr mark if not cross it by the end of its second weekend.
