Gangubai Kathiawadi has turned out to be one of the major successes in Bollywood during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic phase. On day 6 after the film's release, the period drama continued to attract footfalls.
The movie might have recorded its lowest box office figure on Wednesday, but the film has notched an impressive total already and is likely to hit the three-figure mark at the box office. The critically-acclaimed Alia Bhatt-starrer continued its good run, crossing the Rs 60-crore mark at the ticket windows.
Gangubai Kathiawadi Box office collections
Gangubai Kathiawadi had hit a double-digit figure on Tuesday as audiences went in good numbers to theatres on the occasion of Mahashivratri. This was after the Monday collections witnessed the usual drop of a week day with Rs 8.19 crore.
In the three days of the weekend, the film had earned close to Rs 40 crore, after a Rs 10.50 crore opening, jumped to Rs 13.32 crore on Saturday and witnessing its highest figure in its lifetime run so far, Rs 15.30 crore on Sunday.

On Day 6, the movie witnessed the lowest figure of Rs 6.21 crore, taking the overall collections of the movie to Rs 63.53 crore. However, as per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the movie remained ''rock-solid' on week day. He shared that the movie could touch the Rs 100-crore club if it continued its good run in weekend 2 and even 'beyond.'
He added that it would thus become only the fourth film since the start of the pandemic, after Sooryavanshi, 83, Pushpa: The Rise to enter the much-coveted club.
