New Delhi:
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Padmaavat" is unstoppable, tweeted trade analyst Taran Adarsh. The film, starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, has collected Rs 155 crore, as of Wednesday. "Padmaavat is unstoppable. Crosses Rs 150 crore mark," he tweeted. The Rs 190-crore film is among the top three grossers worldwide and it is also Deepika Padukone's seventh rs 1000 crore-film. "Padmaavat" released amid fierce protests from Rajput karni Sena and other fringe outfits. The film was not screened in several states for the fear of vandalism. Despite the opposition and threats, "Padmaavat" collected Rs 155 crore in seven days.
Take a look at "Padmaavat"'s box office report card here:
In the international box office scenario, only Maze Runner: The Death Cure and Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle are ahead of "Padmaavat." The film has performed exceptionally well in North America.

Deepika Padukone plays Rani Padmini while Ranveer Singh plays the role of Khilji. Shahid Kapoor plays Deepika's onscreen husband Maharawal Ratan Singh.

This may sound UNBELIEVABLE, but #Padmaavat has crossed *lifetime biz* of #Dilwale, #BajiraoMastani, #Sultan, #TigerZindaHai [still running] and #BajrangiBhaijaan in its *opening weekend* itself in Australia... Will cross #Dhoom3 today [Mon]... INCREDIBLE indeed!... @Rentrak
