The latest figures for The Taj Story—featuring Paresh Rawal and directed by Tushar Amrish Goel—show the Hindi drama reaching an India net total of around ₹16.82 crore after its 14th day in theaters. On Day 14 itself, the collection is reported to be effectively ₹0 crore, indicating either no significant paid footfall or a delay in reporting.
The film’s performance has been increasingly front-loaded: the weekend viewership generated the bulk of the revenue, and as weekday occupancy declined, the collections followed. Its strongest showings remained in urban multiplex hubs, while smaller towns and single-screen circuits contributed minimally.
What this means:
* The film exits its first two weeks with a modest total, far short of major benchmarks.
* With Day 14 showing no meaningful uptick, chances of a strong third week or surge appear slim.
* For a film with urban appeal and a focused narrative, the numbers reflect limited scalability in the broader market.
*
While it may still inch its way past the ₹17-crore mark, the journey there appears gradual at best. Unless a major holdover or resurgence happens (which, at this rate, seems unlikely), the film’s theatrical run may be best described as a niche, content-driven outcome rather than a mass commercial success.
