GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI was superb on Monday as it collected 8-8.25 crore nett on Monday giving it a four day total of 45.50 crore nett and there is a holiday on Tuesday to come. The collections got a boost on Monday evening due to this holiday but even allowing for that it is a great hold for the film and it will sustain well at the box office.. 

The film was relying on the Maharashtra are for a good start and that is what happened with Mumbai, Nizam  and CP Berar which all have cities from Maharashtra opening well but on Monday the film has shown good numbers in all circuits. Delhi allowing night shows has pushed the numbers in Delhi / UP also as Delhi city is the key in this circuit.

The Monday figures of the film are only second to Sooryavanshi post the pandemic but it has to be said there has not been many releases also post the pandemic. Maharashtra is set to allow 100% occupancy by the end of the week as official orders are awaited and although this will hardly make a difference to GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI it will help the new releases which open well in Maharashtra.

The business of GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI till date is as follows.
Friday - 9,75,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 12,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 15,25,00,000 apprx
Monday - 8,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 45,50,00,000 apprx
-----------------------------
GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI collected an excellent 9.25 crore nett on Tuesday as it got the advantage of Mahashivratri in many states. The jump was around 15% from Monday which had also got advantage of the holiday period. This has taken the five day total of the film to 55 crore nett and the first week will depend where the film lands today (Wednesday). 

The target should be to remain around 50% of day one on Thursday and anything better than that would be great. The film is going to 100 crore nett plus but if the next few days really hold up then it could fly past that total comfortably.

The film is standing at almost 21 crore nett in Mumbai while Delhi/UP is just under 10 crore nett. The total of the latter is low but it is has been making ground over the last two days. The outperformance  has come in Nizam/Andhra and Central belts which has meant that despite Mumbai circuit doing very well, its ratio is under 40% and in the longer run it could go to 40% or higher as Maharashtra/Gujarat are likely to sustain best.
