Gangubai Kathiawadi Has An Extraordinary First Weekend

Mumbai, Feb 28, 2022: Gangubai Kathiawadi has an extraordinary first weekend with collections of around 39.12cr. There was a chance of a 40cr first-weekend collection but the Sunday collections arrived lesser than the early estimates. On Sunday the film recorded 15.30 Cr collection which is an excellent Sunday for a film driven by a female star. No doubt Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a huge director but the industry is star-driven and cinema-going audiences are more fascinated by stars rather than directors or writers. Gabgubai Kathiawadi is recording phenomenal collections in Mumbai, Pune, Thane, and Gujarat which were expected as the film caters more to all these regions. But now even Delhi City and some stations of the south are doing very well which is a sign of a positive word of mouth film. Gangubai Kathiwadi should hold well on Monday and then it must show growth on Tuesday which is a holiday. If the film can do that then there is a chance of a HIT film. Day Wise Collections Of Gangubai Kathiwadi Day 1: 10.50cr Day 2: 13.32cr Day 3: 15.30cr Total Collections: 39.12 Cr About This Movie This film is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and produced by Bhansali Productions, Pen India Limited.

A Sequel To Harshvardhan Rane And Mawra Hocane's 'Sanam Teri Kasam' Is In The Development

Mumbai, February 25 - There have been many films in the past that didn't do well at the box office but were able to find a special place in the hearts of the audiences. "Sanam Teri Kasam" was one such film that received a lot of love from the audience for its music, its heartbreaking love story, and top-notch performance of the lead pair Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane.## Written and Directed by Radhika Rao - Vinay Sapru, "Sanam Teri Kasam" is now gearing up for its sequel after 6 years of the original movie. The sequel will be the continuation of the first part, revolving around Harshvardhan Rane's character. It will go on floors in the second half of 2022 and will be shot at locations in Mumbai and Delhi.## Confirming the news, Vinay Sapru told Bombay Times, "We're really happy that we could crack a story for this one. It moves ahead - it talks about what happens to Harshvardhan Rane's character after Mawra's character dies in the first outing. In that sense, the films are connected with one another. We're all very excited about this. We had been thinking a lot about what we could do to take this film forward into a sequel. It has taken us six years to arrive at this juncture".## "The film has achieved cult status and we didn't want to disappoint the audience with an underwhelming story. So, even though the intention was always there, we didn't proceed until we found a story that both Radhika and I were happy with. While people recall Sanam Teri Kasam for its fantastic songs, there's a beautiful love story at the core. It's urban and contemporary but the films are soaked in the mythological stories that we have all been exposed to in some form. The music will be the sequel's backbone, too", he added.## Sanam Teri Kasam was produced by Deepak Mukut under the banner of Jhoom Jhoom Productions and Soham Rockstar Productions. It also starred Manish Choudhary, Pyumori Mehta, Divyetta Singh, Murli Sharma, Vijay Raaz, Shraddha Das, among others in key roles. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, Feb 25, 2022: Alia Bhatt fronted Gangubai Kathiawadi directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali has been released today. The film took a decent start in the morning shows though Mumbai and Gujarat recorded good occupancy as the film caters more to these states.

The exact number will land by tomorrow morning but one thing is sure Gangubai Kathiawadi will be among the Top openers ever of Alia Bhatt. There is an outside chance of a double-digit first day as well but for that, nights shows in all the major metros should have to outperform themselves.

Gangubai Kathiawadi Review: Public Give Their Verdict To Alia Bhatt-Starrer

Mumbai, February 25 - Alia Bhatt-fronted biographical drama film, "Gangubai Kathiawadi" has been released in theaters and it is getting unanimously positive response from all around. ## The Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed, set in the 1960s, is based on the book Mafia Queens of Mumbai written by S. Hussain Zaidi. The movie had its world premiere at the 72nd Berlin International Film Festival, in which it largely received positive reviews. ## Produced by Bhansali Productions, and Pen India Limited, the film stars Alia Bhatt as the title character while Shantanu Maheshwari, Vijay Raaz, Indira Tiwari, and Seema Pahwa play pivotal roles with Ajay Devgn featuring in an extended cameo appearance.## Have a look at the public response for Gangubai Kathiawadi - ## #SLB is known to extract the very best from his actors and #GangubaiKathiawadi reiterates this fact... #AliaBhatt outdoes herself, looks ethereal, delivers career-best performance... #AjayDevgn lights up screen everytime he appears, packs a solid punch. #GangubaiKathiawadiReview— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) February 25, 2022 ## The soundtrack goes well with the mood of the film, but there's a hitch... Barring #Dholida, the remaining songs of #GangubaiKathiawadi are definitely not at par when one compares it with #SLB's earlier accomplished works. #GangubaiKathiawadiReview— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) February 25, 2022 ## #GangubaiKathiawadi is Unmissable.#SanjayLeelaBhansali Weaves Magic As @aliaa08 Delivers a Stunning + Award Winning Performance with @ajaydevgn Delivering an Outstanding Performance Yet Again.#GangubaiKathiawadiReview - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️It Should be at least a Superhit from here. pic.twitter.com/WFwCEMBcPM— Abhishek Parihar (@BlogDrive) February 25, 2022 ## .#SanjayLeelaBhansali’s cinematic galore & dialoguebaazi save this sightless film!

Deserves appreciation from all section of audience….. #GangubaiKathiawadi— Rohit Jaiswal (@rohitjswl01) February 25, 2022 ## #GangubaiKathiawadi - ⭐️⭐️⭐️Film is fronted by career best act of #Aliabhatt, menacing performance by Vijay Raaz & solid cameo by #AjayDevgn . Film starts of well with some high dramatic points but suffers due to slow pace before interval & mediocre 2nd half. A decent watch. pic.twitter.com/9rh2BBCBHW— Sumit Kadel (@SumitkadeI) February 25, 2022 ## Women / Girls will love #GangubaiKathiawadi, there is a emotional touch given at the end of the film which connects directly to female audience. #Gangubai is based on a very simple Shayri - “Harr Kisi ko jahan nhi milta, kabhi Zameen to kabhi aasmaan nhi milta” 4*/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️— Rohit Jaiswal (@rohitjswl01) February 25, 2022 ## #GangubaiKathiawadi is a winner for its execution and what it stands for! More Vijay Raaz & a tighter edit would have helped but The misinformed narrative of #AliaBhatt not being capable enough to pull this off is laughable because she has hit it out of the park.— ANMOL JAMWAL (@jammypants4) February 25, 2022 ## #GangubaiKathiawadi - I’m not a huge fan of Bhansali and his films, but this one I enjoyed. The second half is a bit too stretched & the music doesn’t work much, but the staging, cinematography and dialoguebaazi is really good. And the performance by Alia is absolutely stunning. pic.twitter.com/NBEgQW77Tq— Aravind (@reflections1212) February 25, 2022 ## Watched #GangubaiKathiawadi and I have no words for you @aliaa08. You are officially the Queen of Bollywood. I seriously just want to hug you.— Janeen (@Jeeenuuu) February 25, 2022 ## #GangubaiKathiawadi is so gripping and engaging right from the beginning.@aliaa08 amuses us with her perfomance in such a way that we can't take our eyes off from her even for a single frame. Bhansali's brilliance in writing can be seen clearly towards the end. Go watch for her🔥 pic.twitter.com/GLaGQRrNjz— శ్రీకర్ (@Sr1k4r) February 25, 2022 ## Interval now .
