Hrithik Roshan-starrer Super 30 , based on the life of Patna-based educationist and mathematician Anand Kumar, recently crossed the Rs 70 crore mark . Despite receiving mixed reviews, the film has been performing consistently well. After a week long run at the domestic box office, it has raked in Rs 75.85 crore. Super 30 earned Rs 6.15 crore on day 6 and Rs 5.62 crore on day 7 respectively.
According to trade analysts, only metropolitan cities and urban centres are contributing to the revenue. The second week will be crucial as it will be competing with The Lion King .
Here are the latest box office figures for Super 30.
Super 30 marks Roshan’s return to films after a gap of two years. Besides Roshan, the film also stars Mrunal Thakur, Amit Sadh, and Nandish Sandhu in pivotal roles. It has been directed by Vikas Bahl, and co-produced by Reliance Entertainment, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, and the now-dissolved Phantom Films .
Recently, Bihar Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi had declared the film tax-free in the state . Following the announcement, Roshan had met with Modi as well as Kumar in Patna. At a press conference the actor said to Press Trust of India, “The journey of Super 30 has been a long one. I consider myself lucky to have known, in the process, Anand sir. I got the opportunity to visit this city on the day of Guru Poornima and I have sought the blessings of Anand sir after touching his feet.”
Super 30 was also made tax-free in Rajasthan on 18 July (Thursday), with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot calling it an “inspiration” and an “excellent example of exceptional willpower and determination.”
