Shahid Kapoor's new film Kabir Singh is setting the box office on fire! The film is about to complete its second week at the theatres and has raked in an impressive sum of Rs 198.95 crore. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh predicts that Kabir Singh's ticket sales will be over Rs 200 crore after Wednesday's collections. And in doing so, Kabir Singh will be eligible to compete with the lifetime business of Vicky Kaushal's Uri: The Surgical Strike, which made over Rs 240 crore - the highest for any 2019 Bollywood release so far. In his tweet for Kabir Singh's box office report, Mr Adarsh wrote: "Kabir Singh will cruise past Rs 200 cr mark today [Day 13]... Will challenge *lifetime biz* of #Uri [in Week 3] and emerge the highest grossing #Hindi film of 2019... [Week 2] Fri 12.21 cr, Sat 17.10 cr, Sun 17.84 cr, Mon 9.07 cr, Tue 8.31 cr. Total: Rs 198.95 cr. India biz."
