Kabir Singh started outstandingly strong and held on wonderfully all through the first week. It joined the 100-crore club on the fifth day itself. It netted a whopping Rs. 20.21 crore on the first day. Collections increased by a little over 10% on Saturday (Rs. 22.71 crore) and shot up to Rs. 27.91 crore on Sunday, thanks to phenomenally positive word of mouth. After a weekend of Rs. 70.83 crore, collections were super-strong during the weekdays too: Monday – Rs. 17.54 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 16.53 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 15.91 crore, Thursday – Rs. 13.61 crore. By adding Rs. 63.59 crore to its kitty in the weekdays, it took its first week’s total to Rs. 134.42 crore. The love story is all set for a long run and will definitely join the Rs. 200-crore club very soon. Although one section of the public is criticising the film on social media (for showing the hero as one who drinks, smokes up and even beats his girlfriend but yet emerges a winner in the end), the collections reflect that that section is in a minority and its words have not had much bearing on the public.
