Gangubai Kathiawadi did good business over its first weekend as it collected 37.50 crore nett doing good business at most places and decent North. The North should be able to make up ground from today as Delhi night shows come into play and at 100% the occupancy. The occupancy will not matter much as weekday occupancy is well short of 50% anyway.. 

The best business for the film has come in Nizam / Andhra and Mumbai circuit but the biggest plus for the film is the business outside metros. The collections are not huge but centres like Ahmedabad, Jaipur and Indore as well as smaller cities like Gwalior, Amravati and Latur have all performed much better than you would expect for a heroine orientated film.

The weekend business is a huge plus for the industry as slowly it goes towards normality but for the film itself it needs to sustain well over the weekdays where the holiday on Tuesday will help. This weekend ensures the film will be a success but a much needed HIT is the result that would bolster confidence.  

The flow of releases is limited still and Gangubai Kathiawadi should benefit from this. There is The Batman releasing next week but that is only one film and there are no holdovers competing for screens. This situation will change in a few weeks as many more films will compete for screen space on a weekly basis. The first weekend business of Gangubai Kathiawadi is as follows.

  Friday - 9,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 12,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 15,25,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 37,50,00,000 apprx
