Decoding Pink Box Office Collection: Here's why this Amitabh Bachchan film is a super-hit!

Amitabh Bachchan's Pink is on a winning streak at the Box Office as the 11th day total stands at Rs 53 crore approximately.

After a below average start, the film grew from strength to strength, thanks to the positive word of mouth and the same translated into Box Office numbers. The film primarily fared well at the metros i.e. Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata and Pune, which contributed substantially to the ticket sales.
