Opening day collections of Akshay Kumar and Bhoomi Pednekar starrer “Toilet: Ek Prem Katha” weren’t that good. We were surprised because Akshay Kumar movies always get a very good opening. It collected just 13.10 crores on the Friday and we surely expected something more.
However, things were different on Saturday as the film took a huge jump! Looks as if positive word of mouth has helped the movie grow. The theme of the film is very interesting i.e. “Modi’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan” and this is what has generated interest among the people.
The film picked up really well on the 2nd day; check out what Taran Adarsh tweeted about Saturday numbers…
