As of now, '12th Fail' has accumulated a total of Rs 13.50 crores nett after eight days in theaters. Considering its current trend, it is expected to reach the Rs 25 crores mark by the end of its second week. The film will face competition from Salman Khan's 'Tiger 3' during the Diwali season, and if it continues to perform well, it may even surpass the Rs 30 crores milestone.
The exceptional performance of '12th Fail' is noteworthy in the context of the current film landscape. While larger budget films like 'Thank You For Coming,' 'The Great Indian Family,' 'Tejas,' and 'Ganapath' struggle to gain significant traction, this smaller film has demonstrated that audiences are willing to return to theaters when the right content is presented.
'12th Fail' has achieved the status of a commercial hit, with its theatrical earnings expected to cover production costs, and non-theatrical revenue contributing to its overall profitability.
