Ahead of Kangana Ranaut's Thalaivii, a look at the box office collections of the biggest women-centric films in Bollywood

After Bell Bottom and Chehre, we will see third big Bollywood release amid pandemic in the form of Kangana Ranaut's Thalaivii, which will hit the screens this Friday (on the auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi). While the promos and songs have garnered positive response from the audience, it will be interesting to see whether the public will come out in large numbers to watch this political biographical drama on the silver screen or will choose to stay home amid pandemic. In the past, Kangana Ranaut has managed to pull the crowd to the theatres with her star power and while we expect the same to happen with Thalaivii, let's go through the highest grossing women-centric films of Bollywood, where female stars showed their power at the box office. Interestingly, Kangana Ranaut has a good number of films in the list and we hope Thalaivii too makes a place in it.

Biggest women-centric films in Bollywood

Tanu Weds Manu Returns - Rs 152 crore
Raazi - Rs 122 crore
Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi - Rs 100 crore
The Dirty Picture - Rs 85 crore
Piku - Rs 78 crore
Neerja - Rs 75.61 crore
Kahaani - Rs 59.26 crore
Tanu Weds Manu - Rs 40 crore

The producers of the film have chosen to premiere the Hindi version of Thalaivii on Netflix after its two weeks of theatrical run while for Tamil and Telugu they gave the theatrical window of four weeks. Directed by AL Vijay, Thalaivii also features Arvind Swami, Madhoo and Bhagyashree in pivotal roles. The film is produced by Vishnu Vardhan Induri and Shailesh R. Singh under the banner of Vibri and Karma Media and Entertainment. So, are you excited for this venture? Tweet to us @bollywood_life.
