Kabir Singh might have opened to mixed reviews but the film is ruling the box office. The film which stars Shahid Kapoor in the titular role has managed to collect Rs 239.97 crore within three weeks of its release, reports Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh. In his tweet, Taran Adarsh referred to the film a "lottery." The film is expected to cross the lifetime business of Ranveer Singh's Simmba by Tuesday. That's not it, it is also likely to surpass the business of Vicky Kaushal's Uri: The Surgical Strike, stated Taran Adarsh. The film collected Rs 4.25 crore on Monday alone.
Sharing the film's progress report at the box office, Taran Adarsh tweeted: "Kabir Singh is a lottery... Continues to surprise with solid trending on [third] Mon... Will cross lifetime biz of Simmba today [Tue]... Inches closer to Uri... Fri 5.40 cr, Sat 7.51 cr, Sun 9.61 cr, Mon 4.25 cr. Total: Rs 239.97 cr. India biz."
