Hrithik Roshan’s social drama Super 30 has consistently been performing well at the domestic box office. The film earned Rs 6.16 crore on its sixth day of release, taking its overall collection to Rs 70.23 crore. According to trade analysts, the release of Disney’s The Lion King will give affect the earnings.
Super 30 is inspired by the life of Patna-based mathematician and educationist Anand Kumar, who taught underprivileged children to crack the IIT-JEE entrance. It also aims to throw light on the toxic culture of educational coaching centres, which often favour students from better financial backgrounds.
