Thappad features Taapsee as the protagonist who refuses to tolerate domestic violence in the name of love and relationships. Scroll down to find out the opening day business of the film.

Mumbai: Taapsee Pannu's latest release Thappad witnesses a weak start at the box office. The Anubhav Sinha directorial collects ₹ 3.07 cr. on its first day.

According to the trade reports, Thappad started on a low note in the morning shows but gathered speed noon onwards. The film is being lapped up by the metros, especially Delhi and NCR where it registered healthy growth towards evening and night shows.

WATCH | Public Review: Taapsee's Thappad bashes society's hypocrisy

She returned with her most accomplished acting till date, in Thappad. In the film, she plays a homemmaker whose picture-perfect life is jolted when her husband slaps her at a house party. The film questions male entitlement of superiority in a relationship and how it is noramalised in our culture and society.

This is the second time she is collaborating with Anubhav Sinha after Mulk.

Besides Taapsee, Thappad also stars Pavail Gulati, Kumud Mishra, Ratna Pathak Shah, Tanvi Azmi, Maya Sarao, Dia Mirza, Manav Kaul in pivotal roles.
