Salman Khan's latest outing Bharat has now achieved one more milestone at the Indian box office. After becoming the biggest Bollywood opener of 2019, Ali Abbas Zafar's directorial venture is now the second highest grossing film of the year. Vicky Kaushal's blockbuster Uri - The Surgical Strike is still dominating the list. Co-starring Katrina Kaif and Sunil Grover in the lead, Bharat released on June 5 and took a massive opening despite clashing with India's first world cup match against South Africa. The film raked in a whopping Rs 42.30 crore and also became Salman's highest opener to date. Bharat Box Office Collection Day 5: Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif Starrer Has a Thunderous Opening Weekend, Rakes in Rs 150.10 Crore
