Released across 3200 screens in the country, the collections of Toilet Ek Prem Katha are expected to rise with the extended Independence Day weekend.
The film traces the story of a man whose wife leaves him after she finds out that there is no toilet in his house. Our hero, Keshav (Akshay) then sets out on a mission to win her back by building toilets in his village.
Inspired by Prime Miniser Narendra Modi’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan, the film attempts to raise awareness about open defecation. Before the film’s release, Akshay also met PM Modi.
