PadMan Box Office Report Day 6: Akshay Kumar-Sonam Kapoor’s Movie BO Collection Stands at Rs 59.09 Crores
In the constant race of which movie collects how much business, PadMan is much slower to reach the big Rs. 100 crore mark.
PadMan starring Akshay Kumar, Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor had created enough promotions to get everyone talking about the film. Although the same buzz was not seen on the initial days after the film's release. On its 6th day, the movie has inched closer to Rs. 60 crores at the box-office. It has made a business of Rs. 59.09 crore. The film is based on Arunachalam Muruganantham, inventor of low-cost sanitary napkins in the country. The film had a very relevant social issue, to get rid of the taboo surrounding menstruation. The critics also praised the movie for its performances despite the slow pace of execution.
The movie picked pace over the weekend and saw a big business. And with some people having a holiday on Mahashivratri along with the youngsters' fad of Valentine's day, the movie made some quick bucks. On Wednesday, it made a business of Rs. 7.05 crore. Movie critic and trade analyst gave the exact figures day-wise. He wrote on Twitter, "#PadMan is super-strong. Friday 10.26 crore, Saturday 13.68 crore, Sunday 16.11 crore, Monday 5.87 crore, Tuesday 6.12 crore, Wednesday 7.05 crore. Total: Rs.59.09 crore. India biz." So the movie is slowly picking pace although it is far behind in the race compared to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat which continues to run.

Starting tomorrow, PadMan will have a tough competition since two big movies- Sidharth Malhotra's Aiyaary and Hollywood superhero movie Black Panther release tomorrow. So it will be interesting to see if PadMan continues to pick up the pace and sustain at the box-office along with these films. In the constant race of which movie collects how much business, PadMan is much slower to reach the big Rs. 100 crore mark. Akshay Kumar's movies have been quiet successful in getting there but PadMan is taking time. The film is directed by R. Balki and a maiden production venture by Twinkle Khanna's Mrs Funnybones Productions.
