The Taj Story is looking to collect an estimated Rs. 40 lakh net on its Day 14, wrapping the second week at Rs. 6.65 crore. The drop from the previous week is roughly 40 percent, which is a fair hold for such a small-budgeted film. For the record, the movie collected Rs. 10.75 crore net in its opening week. The two-week cume reached Rs. 17.40 crore net at the Indian box office.
Directed by Tushar Amrish Goel, the movie faced Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam, starrer HAQ in the second week, still managed to grab some traction. Though there were irregular collections in some chains, which may have been due to organised screens at some places, as The Taj Story is a politically-charged film. One would presume that a film revolving around the Taj Mahal will perform best in Delhi-UP; however, it did the best business in Mumbai.
The movie will now face Ajay Devgn’s De De Pyaar De 2 in the third week, which means the movie is now in its final legs until there is no surprising jump.
Besides Paresh Rawal, the movie also stars Zakir Hussain, Namit Das, Amruta Khanvilkar, Shishir Sharma, Sneha Wagh, and Brijendra Kala. Although the movie received negative word-of-mouth, it still found its target audience and emerged as a surprise HIT.
