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. Kabir Singh Box Office Collection Day 9: Shahid Kapoor-Kiara Advani Starrer Crosses the 150-Crore Mark

Revealing the same, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to the microblogging site Twitter a while back and wrote, "#KabirSingh continues its dominance...

Adarsh also tweeted, "#KabirSingh biz at a glance...Week 1: ₹ 134.42 cr, Weekend 2: ₹ 47.15 cr. Total: ₹ 181.57 cr. Fantastic trending. India biz. #KabirSingh benchmarks...Crossed ₹ 50 cr: Day 3, ₹ 100 cr: Day 5

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.
