Rs 250 crore and counting! Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmaavat' remains UNSTOPPABLE at the box office

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Padmaavat continues its glorious run at the ticket windows. The film starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor has been on a record breaking spree ever since its release on January 25. 

The film, which was mired into a lot of controversies over alleged distortion of facts and a rumoured dream sequence between queen Padmavati and Alauddin Khilji (a claim repeatedly denied by the makers), found a solo release when Akshay Kumar pushed the release of Pad Man to February 9. 

Padmaavat has been making the most of its run at the box office. The film raked in a whopping sum of Rs 166.50 crore at the box office in its first week. By the end of the second week, the film had already added Rs 69.50 crore more to its kitty. The third weekend further added Rs 17.80 crore to the total, taking the overall domestic box office collection figures to Rs 253.80 crore. 

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his Twitter account to share the information. He tweeted, "#Padmaavat continues its GLORIOUS MARCH... Records SUPER numbers on Sat and Sun...
