Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani's blockbuster film Kabir Singh has made one more record at the Indian box office. The romantic drama, which is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, performed exceptionally well in week 4 and recorded the second highest collection of the year after Vicky Kaushal's Uri The Surgical Strike. Impressive, right? Apart from that, Kabir Singh is already the highest grossing film of 2019 and also Shahid's biggest solo hit ever. The film even raked in Rs 100 crore in just 5 days and then went on to become the fastest film of the year to enter the coveted Rs 200 crore club.
