At a time when Bollywood is reeling under a series of disasters this year, Superstar Akshay Kumar has finally shown some signs of life for the industry.
After the release of Baahubali-2, the distributors and exhibitors continuously lost their money even with mega films like Tubelight (Salman Khan) and Jab Harry Met Sejal (Shahrukh Khan). But, the latest film of Akshay ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ has exceeded the expectations doing decent business.
For buyers, who are already had a rough phase, Toilet is some sigh of relief. On its first day, the film pocketed Rs 13.10 Crores and on day-2, it was 17.10 Crores. By end of the first weekend, the film may have collected the 50 Crores. Also, the holidays over the week would advantage the film at box-office.
Having made on a budget of 18 Crores, Toilet is primarily focused to promote PM Narendra Modi’s dear scheme ‘Swachch Bharat’. With strong mouth talk, the film is doing exceedingly well and will stand out in Akshay’s career.
Trade analyst Tarak Adarsh predicted 48 Crores for the first weekend-, ‘#ToiletEkPremKatha Fri 13.10 cr, Sat 17.10 cr. Total: Rs 30.20 cr. India biz… ₹ 48 cr [+/-] weekend on the cards… SUPERB… #TEPK’
