Lipstick Under My Burkha had a super strong Monday and Tuesday, and remained ‘rock steady’ even on Wednesday. The Konkona Sensharma and Ratna Pathak Shah film is keeping audience at the theaters and major credit goes to the word of mouth it received. After a box office collection of Rs 7.08 crores till Monday, the figures increased to Rs 1.36 crores on Tuesday. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted the latest earnings, “#LipstickUnderMyBurkha Fri 1.22 cr, Sat 2.17 cr, Sun 2.41 cr, Mon 1.28 cr, Tue 1.36 cr, Wed 1.27 cr. Total: ₹ 9.71 cr. ROCK-STEADY!”
While the Konkona Sensharma starrer has till now collected a total of Rs 9.71 crores in its run of six days, it had earned a total of Rs 5.80 crores over the weekend. Well, a theatre manager elated with the performance even shared how he had seen such a growth only at the time of Aamir Khan’s Rang De Basanti.
What is even more interesting is that the movie opened on only 400 screens in the country whereas the week’s other release Munna Michael opened on 3000 screens. But looks like, that hasn’t stopped the film from luring audiences to the theatres.

We are used to seeing the figures declining over the week but seems that Lipstick Under My Burkha is going to be revolutionary in this regard as well. With the Tuesday’s figures at a whopping Rs 1.36 crores, we are bound to expect a lot more from the film.
Lipstick Under My Burkha also stars Ratna Pathak Shah, Aahana Kumra and Plabita Borthakur in the lead roles. Directed by Alankrita Shrivastava, the film is making a bold statement about female sexuality and is exploring women’s desires irrespective of age.
