Mission Mangal has set a weekend record for an Akshay Kumar starrer and by a healthy margin of around 12.50%. It beat the figures of 2.0 (Hindi) which collected 61.29 crore nett but it was a non holiday release and the Hindi versions did not have much of a release in the South. But on the other hand that film was not actually an outright Hindi film and Mission Mangal has comfortably beaten the numbers of all previous Akshay Kumar starrers for the first three days by big margins.

Kesari released earlier this year and Housefull 3 were the best at 54 crore and 53 crore respectively. Mission Mangal is not an initial type of film so the big first day has helped it put up these big numbers but despite the huge first day it is the Friday and Saturday numbers that are more impressive as they not coming on a holiday. The Saturday number is just little less than the big Eid release Bharat which did around 24.25 crore nett on its Saturday though it was the fourth day for that film.

The top ten Akshay Kumar opening weekends are as follows. (First three days only)

1. Mission Mangal - 69,00,00,000 apprx

2. 2.0 (Hindi) - 61,29,00,000

3. Kesari - 54,35,00,000

4. Housefull 3 - 53,27,00,000

5. Rustom - 49,53,00,000

6. Toilet Ek Prem Katha - 49,09,00,000

7. Jolly LLB 2 - 47,59,00,000

8.Brothers - 47,42,00,000

9. Rowdy Rathore - 46,04,00,000

10. Singh Is Bling - 44,23,00,000

I heard the movie is big on propaganda. Is it true?

Mission Mangal Heading For Biggest Sunday Of Year

Monday 19 August 2019 00.15 ISTBox Office India Trade Network

Mission Mangal may well have the highest Sunday of the year as it head for collections in the 27-27.50 crore nett range. The collections in the bigger circuits like Mumbai and Delhi / UP are the highest of the year but it will depend where the mass circuits come and if they are lower then can South compensate. Kabir Singh had collected 27.25 crore nett on its first Sunday which is the best Sunday of 2019 for a Hindi film.

If it does turn out to be the highest Sunday of 2019 then it will be after an extended weekend while Kabir Singh was a normal weeeknd. The extended four day weekend total of the film is a huge 96 crore nett plus and now its about how strong that Monday will hold. The film has built momentum over the weekend and has appreciation so Monday will hold but its always difficult to tell at what levels.

Balta House also recorded good numbers of 11.5-12 crore nett on Sunday and the film has an extended four day weekend of 43 crore nett plus. This film has also gained momentum over the weekend though not at the levels of Mission Mangal. As this film did not open to the levels it should have on a national holiday it will be about the the weekday collections and there is a chance of holding though the Maharashtra / Gujarat could be an issue on the weekdays.

Mission Mangal has recorded excellent extended weekend collections of 96.50 crore nett. Its a huge number for the film as such a number could not be expected for this type of film before release. the first day holiday was there but it is what it has done after the holiday which is the standout. The Sunday numbers are almost coming back to that national holiday first day level. At some places the collections are higher than day one.

The film has crossed the business of films like De De Pyaar De, Manikarnika - Queen Of Jhansi and Luka Chuppi is just four days and these were successful films to a varying degree. The weekend is at such a level that even if the film was to drop hugely on Monday it is still a HIT film. But going the fantastic weekend trend the film should hold and its about how well it can hold.

Mumbai is done fantastic business while West Bengal and Mysore will notch record numbers for Akshay Kumar starrers by the end of the week. Delhi / Up and East Punjab have been rock solid on Saturday and Sunday and should hold over time and catch up with business in Mumbai circuit. The first three day business of Mission Mangal is as follows.

Thursday - 28,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 17,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 23,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 27,50,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 96.50,00,000 apprx

Last year Gold had grossed 67 crore nett over its five day extended weekend and this film has done almost 50% more business in five days. It will cross the lifetime numbers of Gold in just five days.

Gonna be Akki’s first 250 crore. WOM seems really great. Already got the initial collections and now sky is the limit. Let’s see.

It's more about make in India.... Don't know if that is what people call propoganda....

I really liked the movie...just so proud of India and the grit n knowledge n determination exhibited by our scientists...Vidya Balan aced it....I just love that she is back on screen with a great movie...Akshay was theatrical in some way but Vidya was a natural throughout...Sonakshi acted quite well too...gotta say...actually almost everybody put in their best, Taapsee Pannu, Nithya menon, Sharman Joshi ...well done to the team!!it was kind of propaganda coz they did not have to bring in modi in the last frame...but it doesn’t matter...let’s not take away anything from this huge success of this super fab ISRO crew!!!

does anybody know if Rajeev Masand’s review is sarcastic or not ?

Nobody went to see Sonakshi, and no one is talking about Sonakshi. I dont think this film will help her.
