On Day 6, The Taj Story collected an estimated ₹0.03 crore, bringing its cumulative India net to roughly ₹8.5 crore. The film’s theatrical journey, which began with decent curiosity and a surge over its opening weekend, is now facing the typical steep mid-week decline that many niche dramas encounter.
The film opened modestly and then gained momentum over its first three days, but as the weekday phase arrived, collections dropped considerably. The Day 6 performance highlights the challenge of maintaining reach when the genre and content lean towards heavier themes — in this case, a legal/political drama rather than broad-based commercial entertainment.
Despite the star presence of Paresh Rawal and the buzz around its subject matter, the film’s core audience appears to be limited. While pockets of viewership remain in smaller centres and among viewers drawn to serious content, the lack of strong repeat value and the absence of wide appeal across multiplex audiences appear to have constrained the run.
The next few days will be crucial. Unless the film experiences an uptick — possibly through word-of-mouth or lower competition — its lifetime India net might remain in the ₹10 crore range. For now, Day 6’s grey numbers reflect that while the film managed to establish a presence, its sustained box-office hold is fragile.
