The Taj Story, starring Paresh Rawal, entered Day 5 with hopes of stabilizing after a shaky Monday. However, the film’s Tuesday numbers suggest that the post-weekend slowdown is sharper than expected. Day 5 collections are estimated to be in the range of ₹0.15–₹0.30 crore, bringing the total to approximately ₹5.7–₹6.8 crore.
The courtroom drama made a promising start, backed by audience curiosity, pre-release noise, and Paresh Rawal’s commanding presence, which helped it achieve a modest yet respectable opening weekend of over ₹5 crore. But as the weekday cycle kicked in, the film faced the classic challenge — sustaining footfall in the absence of strong repeat value and universal appeal.
While the film’s subject continues to spark discussions online and among niche cinema audiences, the box-office curve suggests that the pull isn’t translating consistently inside theatres. Mixed reviews regarding its pacing and narrative intensity appear to be affecting weekday attendance. Strong performances, especially by Rawal, have been noted; however, the film’s somber approach and dialogue-heavy courtroom sequences appear to limit its mass appeal.
Still, The Taj Story is not completely out of the race. It remains a topic of conversation, particularly among viewers who favor content-heavy political-legal dramas. Should word-of-mouth gain traction over the week and multiplex audiences show late momentum, the film may find some stability heading into its second weekend.
However, for now, the film is navigating a fragile phase. With collections tapering down after the first big weekend push, Day 5 numbers indicate a need for a notable jump over the coming weekend to stay competitive. The coming days will be decisive in determining whether The Taj Story can convert its buzz into sustained business or fade out faster than anticipated.
