Entertainment Nov 02, 2025

Paresh Rawal's new film, The Taj Story, is picking up steam since its October 31 release.
It opened with ₹0.9 crore and doubled to ₹1.9 crore on day two, bringing the total to ₹2.8 crore so far.
Early estimates suggest it earned another ₹1.12 crore on November 2—pretty solid growth for a historical drama.

About the film and cast

The movie follows a guide (Rawal) who sparks a legal fight over whether the Taj Mahal is a tomb or a temple—a plot that's definitely getting people talking.
The cast includes Anant Saraswat, Zakir Hussain, and Amruta Khanvilkar.
Despite some calling it propaganda, the film hit theaters after a High Court nod and is holding its own against Shah Rukh Khan re-releases, drawing crowds with over 35% Hindi occupancy.
