Paresh Rawal starrer questions about history and faith related to the most iconic symbol of love and legacy, the Taj Mahal
Here's how much the film is expected to earn on Day 1
Paresh Rawal starrer The Taj Story is set for grand nationwide release this Friday, October 31, 2025. The film landed into controversy ahead of its release, and a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed requesting a review of the film’s certification. As per reports, the Delhi High Court on Wednesday refused to grant an urgent hearing to the PIL filed against The Taj Story. The film is predicted to have a low opening on Day 1.
The Taj Story box office prediction Day 1
The courtroom drama is expected to open at Rs 25 lakh to Rs 1 crore, according to Pinkvilla. There are no major releases this Friday, so The Taj Story might perform well if the reviews are favourable and there is strong word of mouth.
The trailer looks promising. Paresh Rawal plays Vishnu Das, a local guide at the Taj Mahal, who wants to know the "real" history of the architectural marvel. His curiosity takes him to the courtroom, where he raises questions about whether the Taj Mahal is a temple or a tomb. He even demands a DNA test of the Taj Mahal.
The Taj Story revolves around the balance between belief and documented history.
It is written and directed by Tushar Amrish Goel and produced by Swarnim Global Services Pvt Ltd and CA Suresh Jha. Alongside Paresh Rawal, the film also stars Zakir Hussain, Amruta Khanvilkar, Sneha Wagh, and Namit Das.
PIL against The Taj Story
According to a report in ANI, in the PIL filed by Shakeel Abbas through advocate Shakil Sheikh, it sought a review of the film’s certification. It also urged that the authorities ensure appropriate display of disclaimers in all promotional material and film credits. The plea suggested that the disclaimer should clearly mention that the movie “deals with a contested narrative and does not claim to be a definitive historical account.”
It is alleged that the film is based on “fabricated facts” and promotes a “particular propaganda”.
A bench led by Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya has declined to hear the plea on an urgent basis and said that the matter would be taken up in due course. "It will be auto-listed," it stated.
