The India vs New Zealand World Cup semi-final yesterday didn't really hold back cine-lovers from flocking at Kabir Singh shows in theatres. On its third Tuesday, Shahid Kapoor's new film Kabir Singh recorded a score of over Rs 3 crore, which is pretty impressive considering its Kabir Singh's third week in movie theatres. Kabir Singh is now at a total of Rs 243 crore, tweeted trade analyst Taran Adarsh. In doing so, Kabir Singh is just one day away from surpassing Uri: The Surgical Strike's lifetime collections. After Wednesday collections are added to Kabir Singh's ticket sales, it will become 2019's highest grossing film.
Meanwhile, Kabir Singh hero Shahid Kapoor's excitement spilled onto Twitter as he wrote: "Marching ahead full steam."
Taran Adarsh has already placed Kabir Singh on the 10th spot list of Bollywood's highest earning films, pushing Uri to the 11th spot. The list is topped by Baahubali 2 and also includes all-time blockbusters such as Dangal, Sanju, Tiger Zinda Hai and others.
"While Kabir Singh is all set to surpass the *lifetime biz* of Uri today [Wed], let's have a look at the *10 highest grossing films* in #Hindi... Kabir Singh holds the No 10 rank, while Uri moves to the 11th position... List follows," Mr Adarsh tweeted. Read his tweets here:
As the film touched Rs 200 crore, Shahid Kapoor thanked his fans and cine-goers for making the movie a success despite the incinerating reviews it opened to. Kabir Singh, which also stars Kiara Advani, has been panned by critics for glorifying misogyny. Kabir Singh hit screens on June 21 and has been joined by films such as Article 15, Malaal and Spider-Man: Far From Home.
