Mumbai, March 20 - Alia Bhatt-fronted "Gangubai Kathiawadi" has emerged as the first Bollywood hit of 2022. The biographical drama, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, was released on February 25 amid not so big hype but was able to take a good opening at the domestic box office.

Gangubai Kathiwadi, which marks Alia Bhatt's first theatrical release since 2019's "Kalank", has become the actress's second-biggest domestic earning film of all time with a total net collection of approx. Rs. 126 crores. It is behind only "Gully Boy" (₹ 139.63 Cr), and this positive is unlikely to change.



Made on a lavish budget, "Gangubai Kathiwadi" has had a very good first week with ₹ 68.93 crores net. It did very well to hold the ground strongly in the second week by dropping just 47% for ₹ 36.52 crores. During the 3rd week, the film faced stiff competition with "The Kashmir Files". Gangubai, however, did still manage to grab the audience's attention and earned ₹ 17.95 crores pushing the total domestic net to ₹ 123.29 crores after 3 weeks.

Till the time GB finished its 3rd-week run, it crossed "Badrinath Ki Dulhania" (₹ 117.89 Cr) and reached number 3. Due to the release of "Bachchhan Paandey" on March 18, and the continuous juggernaut of "The Kashmir Files", the showcasing of "Gangubai Kathiwadi" was reduced to below 100 shows for the first time in Mumbai on the 4th weekend.

While the showcasing of GB was reduced, it didn't down completely on the available shows. In the first two days of the 4th weekend, it earned approx. ₹ 1.60 crores while the 4th Sunday collection is heading towards ₹ 1.50 crores. The movie is running with Housefull shows in Mumbai, Gujrat, and NCR.

Overseas, GB has grossed approx. Rs. 42 crores so far, pushing the total worldwide gross to Rs. 190 crores, becoming the 4th biggest worldwide grosser for Alia, after "Gully Boy" (₹ 235.7 Cr), "Badrinath Ki Dulhania" (₹ 201.07 Cr), and "Raazi" (₹ 195 Cr).
