'The Taj Story' Fails to Recoup Budget Despite Moderate Box Office Run

As of November 14, 2025, Paresh Rawal's film 'The Taj Story' has wrapped up its two-week run at the Indian box office. The Bollywood drama, which also starred Zakir Hussain and Amruta Khanvilkar, managed to earn 17.67 crore net over the course of its theatrical release.

While the film displayed a steady pace after a slow start, it ultimately failed to become a successful affair at the box office. Despite earning slightly better than expected, the 17.67 crore net collection is not enough to recover the film's 25 crore budget. Adjusting for GST, the gross collection stands at 20.85 crores.
