Akshay Kumar’s Toilet Ek Prem Katha has held fairly well at the domestic box office on its first weekday. The holiday period came to an end on Tuesday, ticket prices at multiplexes dropped to normal weekday rates and the film has managed to collect Rs 6.5 crore.
The hold on Wednesday suggests the film would have collected around 8 crore on Monday and 7.25 crore on Tuesday if both those days were normal working days. This puts the holiday advantage for the film at around 16-17 crore, which the film would’ve lost if it released during a normal week.
Toilet Ek Prem Katha is heading towards first week business of around 95 crore, which will make it the highest first week collection for an Akshay Kumar film – beating ‘Rustom’ during the same period last year.
The growth over the second weekend will decide if the film can go on to become Akshay’s highest grosser (currently Rowdy Rathore) and also beat Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees to emerge as the biggest grosser of the year so far.

If you can, please provide the top 10 Bollywood productions for 2017 , based on their international box office returns i.e. INDIA plus OVERSEAS. It should be interesting to compare the box office returns in India with that from overseas.

@kanz:stop spamming every article with ur nonsensical comments.feels irritating..
Friday collection is 3-3.5cr. It means LT collection will be 132cr #TEPK
One thing is for sure, like Dilip Kumar era, after that there is a big gap until Sir Amitabh Bachchan, then Three Khans have arrived, it took almost 10 years to become superstars for them and after them there will be huge gap that cannot be filled in years, it need decades. Ajay Devgan, Hritik Roshan and Ranbeer Kapoor make good attempts but they are no where close to the three Khans that what have KHANS achieved. Akshay Kumar is consistent but lacking big numbers. Bollywood is only surving on Star Power and Content. After Khans there will be only content remains. Bollywood does not need only 4-5 hits in year to survive, it needs 4-5 blockbusters with 10-15 clean hits unless regional industries will take over Bollywood…
Be happy dont take it personal, its reality…
