The Taj Story, led by veteran actor Paresh Rawal, along with Rasika Dugal and Rajit Kapur, is holding its ground in its second week. The film, praised for its intense performances and hard-hitting dialogues, continues to appeal to a niche but consistent audience base.
On Day 13, early estimates suggest the film collected around ₹0.30–0.35 crore (net India), bringing its total to approximately ₹16.6–16.8 crore. The numbers indicate a slight dip from Day 12 but still demonstrate stability for a content-driven drama in its second weekday stretch.
The movie’s strongest performance remains in multiplex circuits across Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Pune, where urban audiences are responding positively to its sharp writing and courtroom intensity. However, collections from tier-2 and tier-3 cities remain on the lower side, reflecting the film’s limited mass appeal.
Critics and audiences alike have highlighted Paresh Rawal’s commanding presence, supported by strong performances from Rasika Dugal and Rajit Kapur. The film’s politically charged narrative and socially conscious themes have resonated with discerning viewers, though its lack of mainstream appeal keeps it from breaking into higher box-office brackets.
In its second week, The Taj Story remains a respectable performer, carving out its own space amidst commercial heavyweights. While it may not emerge as a blockbuster, it stands as a critically appreciated success, emphasizing storytelling and performances over spectacle.
If the current trend holds, the film could wrap up its theatrical run near the ₹17–17.2 crore mark—an achievement that underscores the quiet but steady impact of quality cinema led by veteran talent.
