Kangana Ranaut's ambitious film Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, which released on January 25, is currently performing well at the ticket windows. Despite not being a solo release, the period war drama has managed to rake in good moolah at the Indian box office so far. After surpassing the Rs 50 crore mark on its fifth day itself, Manikarnika is now heading towards the Rs 100 crore club. Marking television actress Ankita Lokhande's film debut, the Kangana starrer didn't open to rave reviews but that hasn't stopped the audiences from given it a watch. Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi Box Office Collection Day 9: Kangana Ranaut’s Film Sees an Upward Trend; Earns Rs 69.90 Crore.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to microblogging site Twitter a while back and announced the updated the figures. He wrote, "#Manikarnika crosses ₹ 75 cr... Saw a positive turnaround on [second] Sat and Sun... Biz on weekdays will give an idea of its *lifetime biz*... [Week 2] Fri 3.50 cr, Sat 5.25 cr, Sun 6.75 cr. Total: ₹ 76.65 cr. India biz. #Hindi #Tamil #Telugu."

Adarsh further tweeted, "#Manikarnika biz at a glance... Week 1: ₹ 61.15 cr, Weekend 2: ₹ 15.50 cr. Total: ₹ 76.65 cr. India biz. #Manikarnika benchmarks...Crossed ₹ 50 cr: Day 5, ₹ 75 cr: Day 10."

Apart from India, Manikarnika which is co-directed by Kangana has also got cash registers ringing abroad. The film has already crossed the $2 million mark at the overseas box office and is continuing to pull the crowd to the cinema halls which is quite impressive. Along with Manikarnika, Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Thackeray also released on January 25 but the biopic failed to impress the critics and audience alike. Thackeray Week 1 Box Office Collection: Nawazuddin Siddiqui Starrer Fails to Make an Impact, Rakes in Rs 31.60 Crore.
