Occupancy & Audience Response
On Day 6, the film recorded an average occupancy of 18.74% across Hindi circuits — slightly lower than Tuesday but steady for a weekday.
- Morning shows: 8.76%
- Afternoon: 21.47%
- Evening: 22.20%
- Night: 22.52%
The strongest response came from urban multiplexes, particularly in Mumbai and Delhi NCR, where audiences appreciated the film’s powerful dialogues and Paresh Rawal’s fiery performance.
About the Film
Directed by Anirudh Sharma, The Taj Story dives deep into a controversial courtroom battle centered on historical truth, religious symbolism, and free speech — a theme that sparked nationwide debates even before its release.
Paresh Rawal, known for blending gravitas with wit, delivers one of his most intense performances in recent years. Critics have praised his portrayal as “raw, layered, and unflinchingly bold.”
Supporting actors Sayani Gupta and Rajesh Sharma lend credibility to the narrative, adding depth to what could easily have turned into a one-dimensional political drama.
What’s Working for the Film
- Strong word of mouth among niche urban audiences.
- Solid performances, especially by Rawal.
- Balanced screenplay that blends courtroom tension with emotional appeal.
- Low competition during the first week’s weekday stretch.
What’s Holding It Back
- Limited mass appeal due to heavy political undertones.
- Weekend competition from upcoming mainstream biggies like Skyline 2025 and Dil Ke Us Paar.
- Theatrical buzz lower in Tier-2 cities.
Outlook: Can The Taj Story Stay Steady?
With ₹10 crore already in the bank, the film’s fate now depends on its second weekend performance. If it can hold a 25–30% jump on Saturday, the lifetime total may comfortably reach ₹15–16 crore — a solid outcome for a film of this genre and scale.
Trade experts note that The Taj Story is performing above expectations given its limited screens and non-commercial tone. Any positive word of mouth post-weekend could help sustain it through the upcoming festival rush.
Verdict
“The Taj Story” may not be a mass entertainer, but it’s carving its niche — slowly, confidently, and with conviction. For Paresh Rawal, this film is a reminder that substance still sells when backed by sincerity.
Quick Summary for Readers
- The Taj Story earns ₹10.10 crore in six days
- Day 6 sees a 6.9% drop but remains steady
- Courtroom drama + controversy = curiosity factor
