Though Ali Abbas Zafar's newest directorial venture Bharat has slowed down at the Indian box office, the film is now a part of the coveted Rs 200 crore club. Yes, Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Sunil Grover and Disha Patani starrer has finally scored a double century in India and that's definitely good news for their latest outing which has been struggling to pick up the pace at the ticket windows. The period drama hit the screens on June 5 and immediately stormed the box office by registering the biggest opening of the year. However, Bharat hit a rough patch after the first weekend and since then has been maintaining low collections. Bharat Box Office Collection Day 13: Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif's Latest Offering Does Below Average Business on Second Monday

Just a while back, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to the microblogging site Twitter and revealed the updated figures saying, "#Bharat scores double century at the BO... Crosses ₹ 200 cr mark... Is best in North, although biz has slowed down in other circuits... [Week 2] Fri 4.30 cr, Sat 6.37 cr, Sun 6.19 cr, Mon 2.63 cr, Tue 2.32 cr. Total: ₹ 201.86 cr. India biz."

Declaring Bharat a hit, Adarsh further tweeted, "#Bharat biz at a glance...

Week 1: ₹ 180.05 cr [extended Week 1 of 9 days], Week 2: ₹ 21.81 cr [till Tue]

Total: ₹ 201.86 cr. India biz. HIT." As per Boxofficeindia.com, Khan's movie is doing good business in the North circuit but the same cannot be said about Mumbai and other territories. Bharat Box Office Collection Day 12: Sakman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Disha Patani's Eid Release Fares Decently on Sunday Despite India Versus Pakistan World Cup Match

Anyway, if Bharat continues to trend normally in the coming days then it would comfortably end its theatrical run with a good figure. But will it beat Vicky Kaushal's Uri - The Surgical Strike to become the highest grossing film of the year? For now, that seems impossible especially since Shahid Kapoor's Kabir Singh is arriving in theatres this Friday.
