Kabir Singh Box-Office: The Shahid Kapoor Starrer Creates Records On Day 1!

Shahid Kapoor starrer Kabir Singh might have left the critics and audiences with very differing and extreme opinions, but looks like most of the people are actually interested, and even watching the film. We can say so looking at the opening day number of the film. The film, despite releasing on a regular day, has raked a good 20.21 crores at the box-office and with that has created some new records as well! Wondering what they are? Well, check out the records that Kabir Singh’s first-day collection has created:

1. Biggest opener for Shahid Kapoor

Yes, Kabir Singh has become the biggest opener for Shahid Kapoor, surpassing his 2018 biggie Padmavaat. While Padmavat collected 19 crores on Day 1, with the business being affected due to a ban in many states, Kabir Singh managed to rake a crore more that the magnum opus.

2. Biggest opener for Kiara Advani

Not just for Shahid, but the film also proved to be the biggest opener for Kiara Advani. Even though Kalank had a better first-day collection, Kiara had but a cameo only in the film.

3. The biggest opener of 2019 for a traditional Friday release

Yes, Kabir Singh is not the biggest opener of the year so far, but it is the only film that made it to the Top 5 openers of 2019 so far after releasing on a non-holiday Friday. The other films that have collected more than Kabir Singh are Bharat (Wednesday/ Eid release), Kalank (Wednesday/ Mahavir Jayanti release) and Kesari (Thursday/Holi release).

4. The biggest opener for an A-rated film in 2019

Kabir Singh is also the only A-rated film that has managed to collect this huge amount on Day 1 itself. It is also the second highest opener for A-rated films of all times after the 2011 film Agneepath that collected 23 crores on Day 1.
