GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI has become the second biggest opener as far as female lead driven films go. If this film had released in normal conditions, then it would have been the biggest opener ever as the collections would have gone around 20% higher.

The top ten list sees mainly four female actresses dominating though the Sunny Leonne films are a lot to do with genre which was working well at a certain time. The others are Kareena Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut and Alia Bhatt who is now having three films in the list with the release of GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI. That first day is an issue with female driven films as many circuits just don't have a interest on that first day and its more about the content of the film post the first day.

A double digit first day is a huge achievement for a female lead and its not been done many times and going forward it will not be done many times. It can be said that GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI has Ajay Devgn in a guest role but looking at the numbers from various centres its pretty much certain that his fan base had a limited interest in this film.

The top ten opening days for heroine led films are as follows.

1. Veere Di Wedding - 10,42,00,000 (Kareena Kapoor)

3. Dear Zindagi - 8,62,00,000 (Alia Bhatt)
