Despite early controversy, Paresh Rawan’s “The Taj Story” has performed admirably at the box office, defying expectations. With ₹8.16 crore in its first week of release, the movie is on track to outperform a number of other productions. Keeping up the momentum into its second Friday is crucial to its success.
Can ‘The Taj Story’ cross the ₹10 crore milestone by weekend?
After a great deal of controversy, Paresh Rawan’s “The Taj Story” finally hit theaters on Friday, October 31. While competing with blockbusters like “Baahubali: The Epic,” “Thamma,” and others, the movie did manage to generate some buzz and has been performing fairly well at the box office. “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat,” directed by Harshvardhan Rane, is another movie that is currently doing well in theaters. “The Taj Story” has successfully attempted to carve out a niche for itself in the midst of these.
The movie made Rs 2 crore on day two after opening at Rs 1 crore on day one. It increased even more on Sunday, the third day, and earned Rs 2.75 crore. On Monday, a slight decline was anticipated, and it brought in Rs 1.06 crore. The total amount collected on Tuesday, the fifth day, is Rs 1.35 crore. According to Sacnilk, the film has made a total of Rs 8.16 crore in India thus far.
Many people believed that The Taj Story’s run would have ended by now, but it has managed to connect with audiences. The true test, though, will come on Friday; if it goes well, the movie might even reach the ₹20 crore nett mark. Even though there are a few upcoming releases, they are not likely to slow it down. According to Box Office India, “The Taj Story” is also expected to surpass the box office totals of movies like “Maalik” and “Dhadak 2,” and it will undoubtedly surpass “Emergency,” which were all much larger productions.

Four disclaimers are read aloud at the start of ‘The Taj Story’, highlighting the fact that this is “fiction” and that any similarities to real-life characters are entirely coincidental. Additionally, it states that “no animals were harmed during the making of the film”—that’s just common sense. The Taj Story turns into a monument of unbridled venom for a movie that was based on a monument of love.
