"#LipstickUnderMyBurkha witnesses growth on Sat... Fri 1.22 cr, Sat 2.17 cr. Total: ₹ 3.39 cr [400 screens]. India biz," trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted.
Starring Konkona Sen Sharma and Ratna Pathak, the controversial film had been in news ever since the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) denied certification to the movie citing "explicit" and "abusive" content and for being "too lady oriented". It was only after the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) overruled censor board's decision that the ban was lifted and granted 'A' certificate.
On the other hand, Tiger Shroff starrer Munna Michael, which had earned Rs 6.65 crore at the domestic market on its opening day, remained steady on Day 2 as well. Munna Michael collected Rs 6.15 crore at the domestic box office on Saturday. The total domestic box office collection of Sabbir Khan directorial now stands at Rs 12.80 crore net.
