Tumhari Sulu box office collection day 3: This Vidya Balan film has collected Rs 12.87 crore.

Vidya Balan and Manav Kaul starrer Tumhari Sulu is impressing the audience at the box office. The film, which has garnered good reviews from critics, started off its journey at the ticketing window with a decent collection of Rs 2.87 crore on Friday. The film showed an upward trend on Saturday and a massive jump on Sunday with Rs 4.61 crore and Rs 5.39 crore respectively, taking the total collection to Rs 12.87 crore by the end of three days.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh posted the box office figures on Twitter. “#TumhariSulu had a SUPER-STRONG weekend… Showed SUPER trending… Fri 2.87 cr, Sat 4.61 cr, Sun 5.39 cr. Total: ₹ 12.87 cr. India biz,” he tweeted.

Tumhari Sulu is a comedy-drama and tells the story of a Mumbai housewife Sulochna or Sulu who lands a job of a night radio jockey at a radio station. The film also stars Neha Dhupia. It released on November 17 and is facing a tough competition from Warner Bros’ Justice League, that is the first ensemble superhero film in DC universe and an answer to Marvel Cinematic Universe’s The Avengers.

Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta praised the film and Vidya Balan’s performance but criticised the ending and lackluster music. “What I found problematic was the facile resolution, which veers towards a cop out. The husband’s insecurities are addressed in a too-quick, vague stroke: would Sulu have stayed with her new-found independence, regardless of what her spouse felt? Is Sulu too scared to fully embrace her inner Savita Bhabhi, that much more overtly sexual being, which today’s India has banished, even if that poor ‘bhabhi’ was a comic creature? But maybe that would have been a different film.

The songs, except for one lively riff off Hawa Hawaai (the Mr India ditty Sulu and her radio gang groove to), are superfluous. The film feels repetitive and stretched, making you impatient. And too often, it feels like two films rubbing against each other – a light-hearted comedy about a woman finding a voice, and a heavy family drama.”

As already mentioned, Tumhari Sulu is expected to do well on Sunday, but its collections might take a hit once weekdays start and that would be the real test of this film. It remains to be seen whether it can remain consistent over the week.
