Mumbai: Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus ‘Padmaavat’ has passed the crucial Monday test by holding well at the box office.

The film netted Rs 14.25 crores on Monday, a drop of only 20 per cent from the opening day figures, according to the portal Box Office India which has termed it a 'superhit' likely to attain blockbuster status.

The Monday collections are always significant considering several big films tend to only have a good opening weekend before falling drastically from the weekdays, something that has not been the case with this film.

After earning Rs 110 crores over the extended weekend starting from the paid previews on Wednesday, the collections now stand at Rs 124 crores.

The movie’s collections are not just restricted to India, the film has set records in the North American market, and has also done well in countries like Australia, UK, Singapore, among others.
