Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Hindi directorial debut Kabir Singh is having an unbelievable run at the Indian box office since day 1. The film starring Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani has been in the news for the wrong reasons lately, however, that seems to have helped in boosting the film's collection further. We say so because after leaving behind Salman Khan's Bharat in the box office race, the romantic drama has now beaten the lifetime business of Kick and Chennai Express. Yes, you heard that right. In fact, Kabir Singh is faring so well that it will soon become the highest grossing film of 2019, beating Vicky Kaushal's Uri - The Surgical Strike. Kabir Singh Box Office Collection Day 16: Shahid Kapoor's Film Is Trending Better Than Padmaavat, Sanju and Sultan in Week 3, Earns Rs 226.11 Crore

Announcing the same, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to the microblogging site Twitter and wrote, "#KabirSingh hits the ball out of the park on [third] Sun... Collects a fantastic number in Weekend 3... Crosses *lifetime biz* of #Kick and #ChennaiExpress... Next targets: #Simmba and #Uri... [Week 3] Fri 5.40 cr, Sat 7.51 cr, Sun 9.61 cr. Total: ₹ 235.72 cr. India biz."

He also tweeted, "#KabirSingh biz at a glance...Week 1: ₹ 134.42 cr, Week 2: ₹ 78.78 cr. Weekend 3: ₹ 22.52 cr. Total: ₹ 235.72 cr. India biz. ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER." Interestingly, Shahid's latest offering is not just minting money in India but also overseas. Kabir Singh Box Office Collection Day 15: Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani's Film Remains Steady on Third Friday, Mints Rs 218.60 Crore

It has already become the highest grossing Indian film of the year in Australia, leaving behind Gully Boy, Uri, Bharat, Kalank and Total Dhamaal. That's not all! Kabir Singh is also set to surpass the A$ 1 million mark at the Australian box office soon. In that case, we think its time for team Kabir Singh to celebrate once again.
