After Salman Khan's Tubelight and Shah Rukh Khan's Jab Harry Met Sejal failed to perform at the box office and impress the audience, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha is expected to break the box office jinx due to its impressive plot line.

The movie deals with the issues of sanitation and lack of toilets in the rural parts of India. The theme of the film picks from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.
