Kabir Singh stands at Rs 235.72 crore after third weekend

Kabir Singh is continuing its stronghold despite facing competition from Ayushmann Khurrana's Article 15

Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani starrer Kabir Singh is continuing its stronghold despite facing competition from Ayushmann Khurrana's Article 15, which released on June 28, in India. The film collected Rs 22.52 crore in its third weekend, taking its grand total to Rs 235.72 crore at the Box Office.

Kabir Singh entered the Rs 200 crore club in just 13 days of its run on the domestic box office. The film achieved this feat quicker than Salman Khan's Bharat (day 14) and Vicky Kaushal-starrer Uri: The Surgical Strike (day 28).

Kabir Singh has yet another feather to its cap, as it has become the highest grossing Indian film in Australia. Indian film critic Taran Adarsh tweeted that the flick has surpassed 'Gully Boy,' 'Uri,' 'Bharat,' and even south Indian hits 'Petta,' and 'Maharshi'.
