This week’s GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI may have been a slow starter in the morning shows on the first day (yesterday, February 25) but considering that it is a woman-centric film with no hero (Ajay Devgan is in a guest appearance), the film did very well as collections picked up from the afternoon shows.

Considering that cinemas in Maharashtra are still closed and also considering that there are restrictions on capacities and number of shows in other states due to the Coronavirus lockdown, the figure of Rs. 15.28 crore in the first week is very promising.
