Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (transl. Toilet: A Love Story) or simply Toilet, is a 2017 Indian Hindi-language comedy-drama film directed by Shree Narayan Singh. Co-produced by Akshay Kumar and Neeraj Pandey, the film stars Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar, with campaigns to improve sanitation conditions in India, with an emphasis on the eradication of open defecation, which is still a problem, especially in rural areas. It was reported that the movie is based on the true story of Anita Narre from Madhya Pradesh, who refused to go back to her husband Shivram's home because it had no toilet. In fact, after the ending of the film, a photograph of Narre couple is shown with Bhumi Pednekar, and this fact is mentioned as a subtitle. In the beginning of the film too, it is narrated that the film is inspired by a true incident, although the name of real characters comes only towards the end. The film released on 11 August 2017. It received mixed reviews from critics for the scripting and performances of lead actors. It was a commercial success domestically as well as overseas, particularly in China. It became Kumar's highest-grossing film of all time and the fourth highest grossing Indian film of the year grossing ₹311.02 crore worldwide. The film received three nominations at the 63rd Filmfare Awards: Best Film, Best Director for Narayan Singh and Best Actor for Akshay Kumar. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
