Taapsee Pannu's new release Thappad, made Rs 5.05 crore on Day 2, taking its total domestic box office collection to Rs 8.12 crore. The film had a slow start at cinemas as it earned Rs 3.07 crore on its opening day.
According to trade analysts, the social drama garnered more audiences in metro cities, its target audience, on Saturday. They further write that the film needs to maintain the same pace for a decent opening weekend collection.
Thappad has received positive review from critics for its messaging and starting a conversation around the issue of intimate partner violence. Anna Vetticad for Firstpost wrote, "Thappad is designed to make us uncomfortable about our milieu and compel us to introspect about our own complicity in patriarchy. It also shines a light on patriarchy and gender-based violence across class divides."
Here are the latest box office figures
