'The Taj Story' Defies Expectations, Becomes Surprise Box Office Hit

Paresh Rawan's 'The Taj Story' has emerged as a surprise box office hit, defying expectations and creating a strong impact in the cinemas. The film, which was released on Friday, October 31, 2025, faced some controversy leading up to its release but managed to generate significant buzz and has been performing well at the box office.

In the first five days, 'The Taj Story' has collected a total of ₹8.16 crore, a remarkable feat considering the competition it faced from other big-budget releases like 'Baahubali: The Epic' and 'Thamma'. The film opened with a collection of ₹1 crore on its first day and saw a remarkable growth of 100% on the second day, earning ₹2 crore. The momentum continued, with the film making ₹2.75 crore on the third day.

While a slight drop was expected on the fourth day, the film still managed to collect ₹1.06 crore. On the fifth day, the collections further improved, reaching ₹1.35 crore. This strong performance has put 'The Taj Story' on track to surpass the collections of films like 'Maalik' and 'Dhadak 2', which were much bigger productions.

The real test for the film will be its second Friday, but with no major new releases lined up, it is expected to maintain its momentum and potentially reach the ₹20 crore nett mark. The film's ability to connect with audiences and its unexpected success have surprised many, making it a compelling story in the entertainment industry.
