Akshay Kumar's Mission Mangal Set To Take A Very Good Start, Emerge Bigger Than The Three K's - Kalank, Kesari And Kabir Singh

The D-day is just round the corner. Akshay Kumar's Mission Mangal releases this Friday and the buzz so far around the film is quite good. In fact, there has been an air of positivity around the film ever since it was announced and now that the second trailer has worked big time as well, there is good curiosity amongst audiences to check out what it has to offer.

All of this means that this Jagan Shakti directed film is all set to take a very good start at the box office. This year, majority of deserving films have opened well in theaters and brought in the kind of numbers that go with the merits. While Salman Khan's Bharat leads from the top owing to its Eid arrival and a solo release, there are also biggies like Kalank, Kesari and Kabir Singh which have all opened over 20 crores mark.

Now if the buzz and hype surrounding Mission Mangal is any indication, the film is set to go past each of these K-named films at the least!

What is working quite well in favor of the film is the unique humor factor which is characteristic to the kind of cinema that Balki is known for. Of course, the PadMan director is only producing the film here but his creative inputs could well have come in handy for director Jagan Shakti who is making his debut in Bollywood with this biggie. Moreover, the slice of life look and feel of the film, despite the core theme centered on 'Mission Mars' has fetched attention as well.

After all, who would have thought that 'home science' principles would come in handy for a mission as critical as that? However, it is the kind of conviction with which Vidya Balan and team bring to fore these points that makes Mission Mangal a film that finds itself on the top of the list when it comes to the visibility factor.

All of this pretty much translates into the fact that barring Bharat, which would continue to lead from the top till the time Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff starrer War arrives, opening day records of all other films would be history once Fox Star Studios backed Mission Mangal hits the screens. As for the weekend records in the offering then well, it would all boil down to the merits that Mission Mangal, which also features Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Sharman Joshi, Kirti Kulhari and Nithya Menen in key roles, carries in its narrative.
