Akshay Kumar’s multi-starrer, Mission Mangal, has collected ₹164 crore in 11 days. It is his second fastest film to cross the mark after 2.0 (Hindi).
Mission Mangal, starring Akshay Kumar and a host of female Bollywood actors including Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari and Nithya Menen, has crossed the ₹150 crore mark at the domestic box office.
The film is Akshay’s second fastest to reach the mark after 2.0 (Hindi) which had achieved the feat in 10 days. It is Akshay 10th consecutive hit and has collected ₹164 crore at the domestic box office.
Comparing its collections with Akshay’s previous blockbusters, trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote on Twitter about how his earlier film 2.0 (Hindi) had crossed the mark on day 10 while his last film, Kesari collected ₹150 crore on day 25.
Sharing the collections of the film, he tweeted, “#MissionMangal is displaying strong legs at the BO... Continues to surprise with solid trending on [second] Sat and Sun... No action / commercial trappings, yet the numbers are truly outstanding... [Week 2] Fri 7.83 cr, Sat 13.32 cr, Sun 15.30 cr. Total: ₹ 164.61 cr. India biz.”

It collected ₹7.21 crore on its second Sunday which takes its total domestic box office collections to ₹83.78 crore.
Taran shared the box office figures of the film on Twitter. “Batla House has been appreciated and that’s reflecting in its numbers...
