On Wednesday, film critic and movie analyst Taran Adarsh had said that the movie will be the fourth Hindi film to achieve this number since the pandemic if it manages to continue the strong performance.

Prior to 'Gangubai Kathiawadi', Akshay Kumar's 'Sooryavanshi', Allu Arjun-starrer 'Pushpa' (Hindi) and Ranveer Singh's '83' have all secured the premium position in the Rs 100 crore club.

The movie is based on a chapter from writer S Hussain Zaidi's book ‘Mafia Queens of Mumbai'. The biographical drama features Bhatt in the lead role of one of the most powerful, loved and respected madams from Kamathipura neighbourhood in Mumbai during the 1960s.

Amid Omicron scare, 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival last month.

The film also stars Vijay Raaz, Seema Pahwa, Shantanu Maheshwari and superstar Ajay Devgn in a special appearance. It is co-produced by Bhansali Productions and Jayantilal Gada's Pen India Limited.
