Padmaavat Box Office Collection Day 6: Deepika, Ranveer, Shahid’s Magnum Opus Mints Rs 143 Crores at the Ticket Windows

Deepika Padukone- Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh are celebrating the success of Padmaavat like a boss! Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s vision was appreciated to the core by the fans and as expected the period drama is doing pretty- well at the box office. According to the trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the movie has garnered Rs 14 crores on Day 6, taking the total collection Rs 143 crores. One can easily tell how the film has fought against all the odds to emerge as a winner. It is commendable how the cinema is minting money despite being banned in states like Haryana, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

The magum opus is based on the Sufi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi’s epic poem ‘Padmavat’ written in 1540. Following all the hype around the film, it is now all set to compete with SS Rajamouli’s fictional period drama Baahubali 2: The Conclusion' in the race of highest grossing film of all time.

Meanwhile, Bhansali for the first time opened-up in public, about his feelings regarding the protests and hardships the film faced. Talking to PTI, he said, “I know I was troubled, I know I was distracted but deep inside, I found the strength to make the film and not let this anguish and disturbance reflect on the screen. In the last few months, I was constantly correcting, making creative touches and taking the film to the next level. That's the answer to all the objections that were based on rumors and a certain agenda that I could not understand."
