Kabir Singh is on a record breaking spree at the domestic ticket windows and collected ₹15.81 crore on Wednesday.

Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor’s latest outing Kabir Singh is continuing its dream run at the domestic ticket windows, collecting 15.81 crore on the sixth day of the release. Directed by Sandeep Vanga, Kabir Singh also stars Kiara Advani. Despite being panned for the misogyny and toxic masculinity, Kabir Singh is on a record breaking spree at the domestic ticket windows. The film now stands at a total of 120.81 crore.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted the figures, “#KabirSingh is displaying strong legs at the BO... Refuses to slow down on weekdays... Has eclipsed the biz of all films... Fri 20.21 cr, Sat 22.71 cr, Sun 27.91 cr, Mon 17.54 cr, Tue 16.53 cr, Wed 15.91 cr. Total: 120.81 cr. India biz. BLOCKBUSTER. #KabirSingh is having a dream run at the BO... #KabirSingh has crossed *extended Week 1* biz of #Kesari [ 105.86 cr; 8 days], #GullyBoy [ 100.30 cr; 8 days] and *Week 1* biz of #TotalDhamaal [ 94.55 cr; 7 days] in just *6 days*... #KabirSingh is a MONSTROUS HIT!”

 

 

Offering a comparison of how long Kabir Singh took to cross the 100-crore-mark, Taran had earlier written that Kabir Singh accomplished the feat faster than Akshay Kumar’s Kesari (7 days), Ranveer Singh’s Gully Boy (8 days) and the ensemble comedy Total Dhamaal (9 days). Only one movie crossed the mark quicker: Salman Khan’s Bharat (4 days), but in over 1000 more theatres than Kabir Singh. He also tweeted, “The overwhelming success of Kabir Singh has left the industry shocked and stunned. All calculations have gone for a toss.” 

 

Despite the harsh reviews, the audiences have remained unaffected and have been showering the film with all their love at the ticket windows. Kabir Singh — a remake of the 2017 Telugu hit Arjun Reddy – has broken quite a few records ever since its release on June 21. With an opening of 20 crore, it not only became Shahid’s biggest opener and the top non-holiday opener of 2019, but also made it to the top Sunday numbers of the year. Toppling Salman Khan’s Bharat by 2 crore, the film made 28 crore.

 

Taran also noted that Kabir Singh’s success has defied several setbacks — despite no hike in ticket prices (normal among the bigger releases), a non-holiday release and massive criticism. The previous best was Sultan, which made 15 crore on Monday in 2016. Kabir Singh collections rose over the weekend and have maintained a steady flow even on weekdays. It earned 22 crore on Saturday and 27.7 crore on Sunday. With 16 crore on Monday and 16.5 crore on Tuesday, the film has been performing remarkably well.

The film is likely to face major competition Friday onwards since Anubhav Sinha’s Article 15 starring Ayushmann Khurrana is set to hit theatres. Article 15 was recently screened for a select few and the film has been receiving rave reviews.
