Paresh Rawal's film *The Taj Story* experienced a sharp drop of about **80% on Monday**, earning only **Rs 13 lakh** after collecting Rs 65 lakh on Sunday, indicating a steep weekday decline at the box office shortly after release[9]. Despite this, over its theatrical run, the film has performed modestly well, accumulating around **Rs 17.98 crore net** in India by its second week and nearing the Rs 18 crore mark[1][12]. The movie was made on a budget reportedly between **Rs 7-8 crore** (some reports mention Rs 25 crore), and it has already turned a profit for the makers despite the decline in weekday collections[2][4]. The film's box office trajectory includes: - A strong opening weekend with collections jumping from Rs 1 crore on Friday to Rs 3 crore on Sunday[5]. - A second week collection of about Rs 6.67 crore, showing a drop of around 40%, which is considered a modest decline, reflecting sustained audience interest[4][6]. - Continuing collections into the third weekend, though at a reduced pace, with the total gross nearing Rs 19 crore[3][15]. In summary, while *The Taj Story* saw a steep drop on Monday early in its run, it has managed a reasonable overall box office performance, surpassing Paresh Rawal's previous film collections by a large margin, and turning a profit for its makers, though it has yet to become a major hit[1][2][9].
