'Thappad' box office collection: Taapsee Pannu's film off to slow start, expected to multiply from day 2Author : AZIndia News Desk
The report from day 1 of Taapsee Pannu starrer has arrived and it seems like the film is off to a slow start at the box office. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, it has made Rs 3.07 crore on day 1.
Tweeting the figures Taran wrote, "#Thappad - which started low in morning shows - gathered speed post noon onwards... Metros - especially #Delhi, #NCR - registered healthy growth towards evening and night shows... Occupancy should multiply on Day 2 and 3... Fri ? 3.07 cr. #India biz."
Taran further predicted that the film was most likely to grow on the second and third days.
In addition to this, he also posted figures of Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan starring Ayushmann Khurrana, stating that it did decent business. He tweeted, "#ShubhMangalZyadaSaavdhan maintains decent hold on Day 8... [Week 2] Fri 2.08 cr. Total: ? 46.92 cr. #India biz. #SMZS."
Directed by Anubhav Sinha, Thappad deals with a wife’s response after her husband slaps her at a party. Writing about it, the DNA review said, "It's about a woman who believes that whether it is, one slap or ten, the repercussions that a “Thappad” has on an individual’s psychology are the same. It is about Amrita wanting everyone around her to understand that it was never about how many times she was hit, but that it just happened so normally. It raises questions we all need answers to, collectively, as a society; What does it take to keep a family/relationship together? Just a silent acceptance of all that is unfair? And is it the responsibility of just the woman to do so? Thappad will surely make you uncomfortable but that is what makes it so important."
