Much like Akshay Kumar’s career graph, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha has also been witnessing a massive upward trend. It has left fans in awe of Akshay Kumar, who earlier this year gave another blockbuster hit. It is evident that this film too is not going to settle for anything less than Rs 100 crore by the end the of the first week. “#ToiletEkPremKatha is a ONE-HORSE RACE… Does MASSIVE biz on Independence Day… Crosses ₹ 80 cr, racing towards ₹ 100 cr… #TEPK,” wrote Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
The film crossed the Rs 50 crore mark on its first weekend and now it has collected as much as Rs 83.45 crore. Hence, it wouldn’t be surprising if the film manages to cross or reach somewhere close to the Rs 100 crore mark by Thursday.
” #ToiletEkPremKatha Fri 13.10 cr, Sat 17.10 cr, Sun 21.25 cr, Mon 12 cr, Tue 20 cr. Total: ₹ 83.45 cr. India biz. FABULOUS… #TEPK,” wrote Taran Adarsh on Twitter. On Monday, the film had slightly dipped, but it picked up on Tuesday (Independence Day holiday) when the film earned as much as Rs 20 crore. Toilet: Ek Prem Katha is also the sixth highest opener of 2017.

The film has been declared tax-free in BJP ruled states. This Friday, Gurinder Chadha’s Partition: 1947 starring Huma Qureshi will release in theaters. Will it pose as a competition for Toilet: Ek Prem Katha? Only time can tell.
