Sui Dhaaga box office collection: Varun, Anushka's film makes Rs 36.60 cr on opening weekend

At the box office this week, Anushka Sharma and Varun Dhawan’s family entertainer_, Sui Dhaaga ,_ showed immaculate growth. After recording a neat opening on Rs 8.30 crore, collections of the Sharat Katariya directorial almost doubled on Day 3 as the film raked in a solid Rs 16.05 crore.

With 2 October being a national holiday, things are looking up for the Yash Raj Films’ production. It’s three day total now stands at Rs 36.60 crore. Dhawan and Sharma’s invested performances in an earnest story about self-reliance are being lauded by the critics and public alike. As for Vishal Bhardwaj’s Pataakha , which opened to fairly positive reviews, the Monday test remains crucial. As opposed to Sui Dhaaga, which currently occupies 2500 screens in the country, Pataakha is being shown in just 875 screens. However, the film’s box office collection has been on a constant rise. The Radhika Madan and Sanya Malhotra-starrer raked in Rs 1.75 crore which goosed its three-day total to Rs 4.05 crore.

Gandhi Jayanti might prove to be a lucrative window for the film based on the life of two feuding sisters.
