Mission Mangal Box-Office Day 1: The Film Becomes The Highest opener Ever For The Entire Cast!

Mission Mangal was one of the most awaited release of the year. The film had some of the most talented actors together on-screen for the first time- Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Sonakshi Sinha, Sharman Joshi and Nithya Menen. In fact, the film marked Nithya’s Bollywood debut as well. People had planned to watch the incredible story of ISRO’s quest to Mars come alive on the screen way ahead on the release and the advance booking already gave hope to trade analysts that the film would open to good numbers.

But what happened was something that went beyond expectations. Mission Mangal opened to such huge numbers that it became the highest opener ever for its entire cast- including Akshay Kumar. The film managed to collect a whopping 29.16 crore on the first day itself, beating the first day collection of even Kesari.

Independence Day most definitely gave a boost to the film’s biz. In fact, the film was perfectly in sync with the mood of the nation. The Friday numbers might drop, since there is no holiday today, but the film’s collection is expected to go higher up on Saturday and Sunday. If not by Day 3, then the film will most definitely enter the 100 crore club by Day 4, i.e., by the end of the first weekend.
