Thackeray box office collection: Nawazuddin Siddiqui's film earns Rs 22.90 crore in first 3 days

The Marathi version of Thackeray has performed well in Maharashtra. And now, its Hindi screenings will be replaced with the Marathi in the state


Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Thackeray is struggling at the box office despite his strong performance in the film. Released on January 25, Thackeray earned Rs 6 crore on its opening day. On the day 2, the film made a marginal jump with Rs 10 crore in its earning. The earning dropped to Rs 6.90 crore on the third day on Sunday. In total, the film has so far raked in Rs 22.90 crore at the box office.

Directed by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Abhijit Panse and written by Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut, Thackeray traces the journey of Sena stalwart Balasaheb Thackeray. This two hours and nineteen minutes political drama has received mixed reviews from the critics but the movie has created a huge buzz among Shiv Sena workers and Bollywood. On the day of the release, several workers from Shiv Sena created a ruckus outside a theatre in Navi Mumbai as it did not display the poster of Thackeray.


From a firebrand journalist to an influential political leader who played a major role in shaping the Marathi identity, Balasaheb Thackeray's journey is also the story of birth and evolution of Shiv Sena. The film chronicles the life and times of the charismatic leader whose legacy continues to live on through his words and deeds.
