GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI had an excellent second week collecting almost 35 crore nett and taking it over the 100 crore nett mark to a total of 101.50 crore nett. The drop is only 47% in week two which is superb considering the holiday period in week one.

The film continued to be superb in Mumbai circuit as it hit the 40 crore nett mark and now looks like it can go to 50 crore nett in the circuit as both Maharashtra and Gujarat perform very well. The holds in the North are good too though the business is at a lower level. This is the case with most films of Sanjay Leela Bhansali barring DEVDAS and PADMAAVAT.

The third Friday will tell where the film is going and there has been a drop this morning but but it will get stronger from the evening and will give competition to the new releases over the weekend. GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI still has legs and 125 crore nett business at the end of its run is a possibility.

The business of GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI till date is as follows.

Week One - 66,72,00,000 

Friday - 4,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 7,75,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 3,25,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 3,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 2,75,00,000 apprx

--------------------------------------

GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI is heading towards the 200 crore mark worldwide as it scores equally well overseas as in India. The film has crossed the $5.5 mark in overseas and is looking to settle at around $5.75 million after two weeks.

The film is being driven by USA/Canada which will be $2.5 million after two weeks. Gulf has also sustained well with collections now crossing $1 million despite not being released in a couple of countries and a slow start in UAE. The United Kingdom is at £500k plus and it may well become the biggest Hindi film here post the pandemic.

A $7 million number in overseas markets looks there for the film as the drop in second week is only 45% and even if there is a bigger drop in week three it will still get there. It will probably finish in the 55 crore range overseas. So a 120 crore nett finish in India will mean 200 crore worldwide.

The second week is looking to close at around 162-163 crore. SOORYAVANSHI grossed 297 crore worldwide while '83 (Hindi) did 187 crore. The top Alia Bhatt film worldwide is surprisingly GULLY BOY at 230 crore but that is because there are no films with the bigger male stars.
