Padmaavat box office collection: Bhansali's film makes Rs 12 cr on day 7, domestic earnings now at Rs 149 cr

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat is running successfully in cinemas. The Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh-starrer has raked in Rs 12.25 crore on its seventh day (31 January), according to a report by boxofficeindia.com .

Despite not getting distributors in states like Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat and Rajasthan, the film entered the 100 crore club  in its opening weekend. The film has done exceptional business internationally, setting new records. The latest feat the film has achieved is crossing $2 million in Australia. Only three Hindi films — Dangal, Baahubali and PK —have been able to do so in the past.  

With another 12 crore in its kitty, the total collections stand at Rs 149.5 crore, reports Times of India . Made on a budget of Rs 180 crore, Padmaavat is a homage to the Rajput community of India. The film was earlier in hot waters due to severe opposition from the Shri Rajput Karni Sena, which went on a rampage in multiple states, accusing Bhansali of distorting historical facts. After not getting any screens in several states, the film reportedly lost out on business worth Rs 37 crore.
