Shabaash Mithu box office collection Day 5: Taapsee Pannu's film needs a miraculous growth

Taapsee Pannu's Shabaash Mithu is still not doing well at the box office. The film has been directed by Srijit Mukherji.

In Shabaash Mithu, Taapsee Pannu plays the role of former Indian women's cricket team captain, Mithali Raj. The biopic opened to good reviews. However, the reviews failed to pull the audiences to the theatres. After a bad opening on July 15, the film's dry run doesn't seem to end. On Day 5, Shabaash Mithu hardly minted any numbers.

Shabaash Mithu had a poor Day 4 in the theaters after its even lower opening day collection standing around Rs 0.40 crores. On Day 5, the film witnessed a huge drop again. Shabaash Mithu hardly collected any money as its total box office collection reportedly stands at Rs 1.78 crore, according to early estimates. Shabaash Mithu was released along with Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra's starrer Hit: The First Case. While the Rajkummar Rao film showed a jump, Taapsee's stellar performance failed to draw people to the cinema halls.

For the film, Taapsee Pannu had to undergo rigorous training to look the part. She delivers a noteworthy performance as Mithali. In an earlier interview, Taapsee mentioned that she took inspiration from Shah Rukh Khan in Chak De to motivate herself during the shoot for Shabaash Mithu. Shabaash Mithu was directed by filmmaker Srijit Mukherji and written by Priya Aven. The biopic is a coming-of-age story of women's cricket in India through the lenses of Mithali.

On the work front, Taapsee also has Dunki coming up with Shah Rukh Khan. This will mark her first association with King Khan.
