After opening to sparkling reviews and an impressive Rs 10.50 crore box office collections on Friday, Alia Bhatt-starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi's earnings are going steady.
The positive word-of-mouth and reviews definitely made an impact as several cinemas put out a 'House Full' board outside theatres on day 2 for the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film.
According to figures released by the producers of Gangubai Kathiawadi, the film's earnings rose by 30% on Saturday and it collected a total of Rs 13.32 crore on day 2. The film's earnings grew further on Sunday, and recorded Rs 15.3 crore on day 3. Monday's earning was Rs 8.19 crore.
Tuesday being a national holiday on the occasion of Maha Shivratri also helped. Gangubai raked in Rs 10.01 crore on day 5, taking the film's total earnings to Rs 57.32 crore.
According to trade reports, Gangubai Kathiawadi is doing well in the overseas market as well and has generated more ticket sales than the big Tamil and Telugu releases of the week - Valimai and Bheemla Nayak.
