Akshay Kumar's Pad Man continues to show increase in collection at the box-office with every passing day. With good word of mouth publicity for the superstar's film talking about menstrual hygiene on the big screen, Pad Man has managed to cross 40.50 crore mark in just 3 days of its release.
The film which also stars Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor in the lead may have got criticism for the Pad Man challenge on social media but it clearly hasn't affected the film's earnings. Audience is backing a movie endorsing a taboo subject. Pad Man opened with 10.26 crores on Friday, on Saturday the film went on to earn 13.68 crores and Sunday, the collections increased to 13.68 crores. Facing competition from Padmaavat which is doing well even after two weeks of its release and Neeraj Pandey's Aiyaary coming up on this Friday as well.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh confirmed PadMan's box-office status and wrote, "PadMan showed good trending over the weekend....starting on ordinary levels, the momentum over the weekend helped put up on a credible total...word of mouth is strong...weekdays are crucial...Friday 10.26 crores, Saturday 13.68 crores, Sunday 16.11 crores. Total 40.50 crores."
Meanwhile PadMan is also battling plagiarism charges. While the makers have said the film is a fictionalised account of Tamil Nadu-based Arunachalam Muruganantham, who created affordable sanitary napkins for the women of his village. Writer Ripu Daman Jaiswal has accused the makers of the Akshay Kumar-Radhika Apte starrer of copying 11 scenes from a script that he had written. R Balki rubbished the accusations and told PTI, "My film is an official biography of Muruganantham. Is he accusing Muruganantham of leading a life that has been copied from his writing? That's so silly." Jaiswal also alleged that a dialogue, narrated by megastar Amitabh Bachchan in the film, has been taken from his script that he had sent to Ryan Stephan, creative head of Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. "I remember I was in the library when I wrote this dialogue and was truly elated. Honestly, I surprised myself that day. Tell me, how on earth can you steal someone's dialogue? This is unfair," he had tweeted.
