Shahid Kapoor must be one happy man because his latest release Kabir Singh isn't going to stop minting money at the Indian box office anytime soon. Yes, the remake of South blockbuster Arjun Reddy is having a dream run at the ticket windows courtesy Sasha's terrific performance. Though the intense love story co-starring Kiara Advani has courted big controversy, it hasn't really affected its business at the box office. In fact, the action drama is faring well with each passing day. Kabir Singh, which has already become the third highest grossing film of the year, is now on its way to entering the coveted Rs 200 crore club.

While Kabir Singh is doing brilliantly at the box office, things could slow down in the coming weeks courtesy the ongoing 2019 Cricket World Cup. Having said that, Sasha's film should comfortably surpass the Rs 250 crore in India. And with that, Kabir Singh will end up beating Vicky Kaushal's Uri - The Surgical Strike to become the highest grossing film of the year.
