Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Sonakshi Sinha, Nithiya Menen, Kirti Kulhari and Sharman Joshi starrer Mission Mangal is currently having a fabulous run at the Indian box office. The movie, which released on August 15 and garnered good reviews from the critics, has been in theatres for merely three days but its already racing towards the Rs 100 crore mark.
