Kabir Singh is on a record-breaking spree. Shahid Kapoor brushes aside the debacle of his previous release, Batti Gul Meter Chalu, to deliver a smash hit with Kabir Singh. Like its original film, Arjun Reddy, which was a blockbuster in Telugu Cinema in 2017, Kabir Singh has been doing rocking business at the box office. Within three days, Kabir Singh has earned Rs 70.83 crore. This makes Kabir Singh Shahid Kapoor's highest grossing solo-lead starrer, beating R... Rajkumar, Udta Punjab and Haider in the process. Shahid Kapoor's highest grossing movie, though, remains Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat with Rs 302 crore. Kabir Singh Box Office Collection Day 3: Shahid Kapoor-Kiara Advani's Film Rakes In Rs 70.83 Crore.

Kabir Singh's box office success had another interesting facet to look at - despite being rated Adults Only, the movie has managed to draw in the crowds. However, Kabir Singh is yet to be the highest grossing Adult grosser, yet. 'Yet'... that's the key word here. With the audiences still going in the watch the film, we expect the movie to easily gross more than Rs 100 crore before the next weekend.

And in the process, Kabir Singh would have beaten these four movies to earn the tag of the highest grossing adult movie in Bollywood. Nakuul Mehta and Sona Mohapatra Get into a Twitter Argument over Shahid Kapoor’s Kabir Singh.

#1 Grand Masti

Box Office: Rs 102 crore

Directed by Indra Kumar, the sequel to Masti is the only entry in the list to have entered the Rs 100 crore club. However, the follow-up, Great Grand Masti, turned out to be a flop.

#2 Veere Di Wedding

Box Office: Rs 81.39 crore

Starring Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania in the lead, this buddy flick caught everyone's attention with its bold narrative and mature humour. The movie also went on to perform decently at the box office.

#3 Satyameva Jayate

Box Office: Rs 80.50 crore

Despite releasing alongside Akshay Kumar's Gold and the critical mauling it got, John Abraham's Satyameva Jayate turned out to be a profitable venture. That too, with an A-rating.

#4 The Dirty Picture

Box Office: Rs 80 Crore

Perhaps the most critically acclaimed in this list, The Dirty Picture was known for its unabashed portrayal of its female protagonist, in terms of her sexuality. The movie was a huge success at the box office and earned Vidya Balan a National Award for the Best Actress.

Talking more about Kabir Singh, the movie is directed by Sandeep Vanga Reddy and also stars Kiara Advani as the female lead. Suresh Oberoi, Arjan Bajwa, Soham Majumdar, Nikita Dutta and Kamini Kaushal also have important roles to play in the film.
