The movie is a political satire that deals with the issues of sanitation and lack of toilets in the rural parts of India. The theme of the film is picked from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. Akshay Kumar too posted a video on Twitter to thank all his fans, critics and the film fraternity for its success.

Toilet: Ek Prem Katha has been witnessing a massive upward trend at the box office since its release. Even though all the other major big budget films of 2017- Tubelight, Jagga Jasoos and Jab Harry Met Sejal failed at the box office despite having the stellar star cast due to their unimpressive and loose story plots.

 

Toilet - Ek Prem Katha was made on a budget of approximately Rs 18 crore. It is directed by Shree Narayan Singh and also stars Anupam Kher, Divyendu Sharma and Sudhir Pandey.  

Earlier this year, Akshay Kumar had delivered the legal drama, Jolly LLB 2. Both his films have made it to the list of highest openers so far this year. Jolly LLB 2 stands at the fifth position.
