The Taj Story Logs Weekend Uptick to About Rs 5 Crore After Modest Start

Despite two PILs over its portrayal of the Taj Mahal, the CBFC certification kept the film in theaters.

Overview

  • Early estimates peg Sunday at roughly Rs 2.38 crore with a reported 40.78% Hindi occupancy, the strongest day so far.
  • Opening day collections were about Rs 1.0–1.04 crore, followed by an estimated Rs 1.9 crore on Saturday for a roughly 111% jump.
  • Weekend totals are reported at around Rs 5 crore, based on Sacnilk tracking and entertainment outlet tallies that have not been independently verified.
  • The film frames a courtroom case questioning the Taj Mahal’s history and features Paresh Rawal alongside Zakir Hussain, Amruta Khanvilkar, Namit Das, and others.
  • Two PILs sought a ban and certification review for alleged factual distortion, while Paresh Rawal and the team maintain the work is well researched and avoids communal provocation.
