The Taj Story Box Office Collection Day 4 Report
Paresh Rawal’s courtroom drama The Taj Story, which released on 31 October, enjoyed a curious opening driven by its subject, pre-release buzz, and Rawal’s powerful presence. The film opened to modest but encouraging numbers, drawing audience interest over its first weekend.
Day 1 stood at around ₹1 crore, and the film showed gradual growth on Saturday and Sunday, with the weekend total ending a little above ₹ 5 crore. The conversations and debates around the film’s plot, along with a strong central performance, helped bring audiences into theatres despite polarised early reactions.
However, the real test for any film begins on Monday, and The Taj Story saw its first major dip on Day 4. The Monday collection is estimated to be significantly lower — around ₹0.2–₹1.4 crore range — depending on early trade estimates. This brings the four-day total to approximately ₹5.5–₹6.5 crore. While the film’s weekend turnout indicated potential for a stable theatrical run, the sharp weekday drop suggests that sustaining momentum may be difficult unless footfall holds steady through the week.
Critics and audiences alike have praised Paresh Rawal’s authoritative performance and several strong courtroom sequences. But mixed feedback on pacing and screenplay appeared to affect the film’s hold post-weekend.
Still, The Taj Story retains conversations around it — a factor that may help it stabilize through word of mouth over the coming days. The film now enters a crucial phase as weekday numbers will determine whether it remains steady or faces a swift slowdown at the box office.
