Sandeep Reddy Vagga’s film Kabir Singh completed its first weekend in the theaters and as expected passed its first test with flying colors. Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani starrer crossed ₹70 crores at the box office in just three days and has emerged as the biggest *non-holiday* opener of 2019.
Kabir Singh has surpassed the first-weekend collection of one of the highest earning movies of 2019, Total Dhamaal by almost ₹10 crores. And Kabir Singh was released on much fewer screens than Total Dhamaal.
Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared three days box office figures of the film on Twitter and wrote, “A remarkable feat since #KabirSingh was released on 3123 screens. India biz.”
