Manikarnika - The Queen Of Jhansi has emerged the fifth highest opener where the film is driven by the female star of the film. In another words the main or sometimes only face value is the heroine. The top film is Veere Di Wedding which is the only one going over 10 crore nett.
The two Sunny Leone starrers are driven by the sex / horror genre which leaves Kareena Kapoor and Kangana Ranaut with two films each though Tanu Weds Manu Returns is a franchise and Manikarnika - Queen Of Jhansi is being driven more the scale. The later should have really been in first place as the budget is far higher than all the other films. In fact all the others are below 50 crore while this is over 90 crore.
Kareena Kapoor has Veere Di Wedding and Heroine which is the best returns for an actress if we take out other factors which makes it the only heroine to have two films in top ten. Priyanka Chopra has one film and Alia Bhatt has one film. The dominant heroines of the last 5-7 years Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone have no films. Shraddha Kapoor has one but even here its the horror genre which can do well without a star cast.
There are only nine films with collections over 5 crore nett and some are driven by genre factor so it shows how difficult it is for the heroine driven film to open. The top opening days by films driven by the main female lead are as follows.
