Mission Mangal Box Office Collection Day 5: Akshay Kumar's Movie Passes the Crucial Monday Test, Enters the Coveted Rs 100 Crore Club
While Akshay Kumar's Mission Mangal is clearly having a golden run at the Indian box office, the film is also faring well in the international markets too. At the overseas box office, the space drama has grossed Rs 24.54 crore till now which is quite impressive.
Earlier this year, Akshay Kumar dished out a hit film in the form of historical war drama Kesari and now his latest offering Mission Mangal has also joined the bandwagon. Though the space drama has been in theatres only for five days, it has already created a few records at the box office and is also a part of the Rs 100 crore club. Yes, Mission Mangal has surpassed the milestone figure in just five days and has become Akki's fastest film to do so along with 2.0 which came out last year. After setting the box office on fire over the opening weekend, the multi-starrer film passed the crucial Monday test as well and added another Rs 8.91 crore to its grand total.
