Padmaavat Box Office Collection Day 4: Sanjay Leela Bhansali's movie earns Rs 114 crore in India; rules globally

The controversy over Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat seems to have helped the film's box office collections, with the movie comfortably crossing the Rs 100 crore mark in just four days since its release. Although the movie's opening day business was decent at best, the collections soared in the long weekend that followed. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Padmaavat has collected Rs 114 crore in India in four days plus the limited shows on Wednesday, the day before its official release.
 
Padmaavat collected Rs 19 crore on Thursday, Rs 32 crore on Friday, Rs 27 crore on Saturday and Rs 31 crore on Sunday. It had earned Rs 5 crore on Wednesday.

Looking at the overall scenario, #Padmaavat has put up FANTASTIC numbers in its extended weekend... Crosses 100 cr mark... Wed [limited previews] 5 cr, Thu 19 cr, Fri 32 cr, Sat 27 cr, Sun 31 cr. Total: 114 cr. India biz.

In fact, in Australia, Padmaavat has swept over the lifetime collections of Bajirao Mastani, Sultan, Tiger Zinda Hai, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Dilwale.

This may sound UNBELIEVABLE, but #Padmaavat has crossed *lifetime biz* of #Dilwale, #BajiraoMastani, #Sultan, #TigerZindaHai [still running] and #BajrangiBhaijaan in its *opening weekend* itself in Australia... Will cross #Dhoom3 today [Mon]… INCREDIBLE indeed!... @Rentrak

Taran Adarsh mentions that one of the reasons behind Padmaavat's spectacular collection in North America could be due to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's huge fan-base.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has a huge fan-base in North America and coupled with the merits of the film, #Padmaavat has embarked on a SPECTACULAR START in USA and Canada, both... Day-wise breakup in next tweet...

Padmaavat is also Shahid Kapoor's first movie to enter the Rs 100 crore club. Padmaavat is Ranveer Singh's third movie to enter the same coveted club, while it is Deepika Padukone's seventh. Singh's other two movies in the club are Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela and Bajirao Mastani, both directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Chennai Express, Happy New Year, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Bajirao Mastani, Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela, HouseFull and Race 2 are Deepika Padukone's other movies to have crossed Rs 100 crore.

Bhansali's craftsmanship and the actors' performances have been greatly appreciated. Ranveer Singh's portrayal of Alauddin Khilji has been unanimously praised.

Padmaavat stars Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Aditi Rao Hydari, Jim Sarbh and Raza Murad. It is based on Malik Muhammad Jayasi's epic poem 'Padmavat'.
