"Kabir Singh" crossed 200 cr in less than 2 weeks. The trade analysts also predict that it has a very long run ahead and might hit the Rs 300cr mark.

Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani-starrer Kabir Singh has been giving the others a run for their money as it has officially entered the coveted Rs 200 crore club. Other than this significant milestone, the film has got new benchmark as it’s become the 3rd film of 2019 to hit a double century after Uri and Bharat.

While Kabir Singh has been consistently received a lot of criticisms and leaked online right on its opening day, they seemingly do not affect the film’s business. The blockbuster also surpassed the lifetime collections of several Bollywood biggies like Happy New Year (205 crores), 3 Idiots (202 crores), or Golmaal Again (206 crores). It’s also expected to enter the list of top 10 grossers of all time.

What’s more? Shahid Kapoor’s film even beat its original version Arjun Reddy within just two days and also broke the first day collections of his previous super hit Padmavaat.

Despite releasing on a non-holiday weekend and also clashing with the world cup, Kabir Singh still crossed 200 cr in less than 2 weeks. The trade analysts also predict that it has a very long run ahead and might hit the Rs 300cr mark.

In the film, Shahid stepped in shoes of Dr. Kabir Rajdheer Singh who is self-destructive after his former girlfriend tying the knot to someone else. Jointly produced by Murad Khetani, Bhushan Kumar, Ashwin Varde and Krishan Kumar, the film hit the theaters on 21 June and soon took the box office by storm.
