Kabir Singh might break Vicky Kaushal’s Uri: The Surgical Strike‘s “highest grossing film of 2019” record. The Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani starrer is minting numbers at the box office all over the country.
Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared news of the film’s business on social media. On a working day, Monday, a day after the film’s first weekend business was announced, Kabir Singh grossed Rs. 17.5 crores and more.
According to Taran Adarsh, most big budget films and expected blockbusters do not make that kind of money even on a Sunday.
On Friday the film’s business collection stood at Rs. 20.21 crores, Saturday-Rs. 22.71 crores, Sunday-Rs. 27.91 crores and Monday-Rs. 17.54 crores making the film come closer to the Rs.100 crore benchmark in just the first four days.
The film is doing better business than all big releases this year like Kesari, Total Dhamaal, Gully Boy and even Salman Khan’s Bharat.
Apart from being passed on for word-of-mouth, this popular film is being scathingly critiqued in the film circuits across the country. The controversy surrounding it is making the film appeal more to people.
Kabir Singh is a remake of Telugu hit, Arjun Reddy, written and directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film released on 21st June 2019 in approximately 3123 screens across India.
