This is also the first time that a movie with a female protagonist in the title role has made a huge collection at the box office. Baahubali 2, Tiger Zinda Hai, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sultan are four films in the 300 Crore Club which have all been male-dominated. However, Padmaavat starring Deepika, Shahid and Ranveer is the only one which has an actress in a central role and still the 200 crore mark has been crossed.
This film is set to attain many milestones and high targets to be surpassed by the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. Kick (232 crores) gets left behind and that’s a massive lead for Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor. For both the villain as well as the hero, this is remarkable indeed and their next films would need to be really special in order to challenge this huge number.
*Estimates. Final numbers awaited
Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources
