Anubhav Sinha directorial talks about the issue of domestic violence and thus comes up with a well-played storyline starring Taapsee Pannu in the lead role, who files for a divorce from her husband after he slaps her at a party.
The film managed to open to a decent start considering the fact that it wasn’t a big release in terms of screen. Thappad managed to collect little over Rs 3 crore and the first-day box office collection stood at Rs 3.07 crore. Taapsee Pannu starrer was expected to pick up on day 2 considering the positive reviews and the film maned to get a considerable growth from day 1 collection. While the final figures are yet to come, Thappad is expected to earn somewhere between Rs 4-5 crore on Day 2. Taking the total collection after two days over Rs 7 crore.
As the film has shown some growth it is expected that it will come up with steady growth in the coming days.
The film is the only release of the week and with Sunday we footfall might increase. The film has been facing tough competition from Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan which has been going rock solid at the Box Office.
Thappad is now the second-highest opener for Pannu, after Sujoy Ghosh’s suspense thriller Badla (Rs 5.04 crore). Her other solo release last year was the bilingual (Tamil-Telugu, dubbed in Hindi) home invasion thriller Game Over, which minted Rs 0.38 crore on the first day of its release.
