Akshay Kumar's latest outing Mission Mangal, which narrates the story of the women scientists of ISRO who worked on India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), has set the cash registers ringing by surpassing the Rs 200 crore mark in the fourth week of its run. After breaking several records, the film has now surpassed Salman Khan's Independence release Ek Tha Tiger. Not just that the film has also become Fox Star Studio's third film to have crossed Rs 200 crore mark after Salman's Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Ranbir Kapoor's Sanju. Earlier today, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to the micro-blogging site to share the official collection of the film and wrote, "#MissionMangal crosses ₹ 200 cr... #AkshayKumar’s first double century...

Talking about the movie, our in-house film critic Sreeju Sudhakaran wrote in his review, "Mission Mangal doesn't have the layered texture of Hidden Figures nor the complexity of First Man. Instead, it relies on many of its heartwarming moments and an adorable cast to propel the film ahead, and ends up being an engaging watch. The movie may not land on Mars, but it does meet halfway when it comes to our expectations." Mission Mangal Review: Critics Hail the Actors’ Performances and their Attempts in this Space Entertainer
