Mission Mangal is Akshay's second successful outing this year. Earlier, the actor was seen in Kesari which arrived in cinema halls during Holi and got cash registers ringing at the Indian box office. With two more films lined-up for release, it seems 2019 is going to Kumar's biggest year to date.
After registering the second biggest opening of the year and entering the Rs 100 crore club in just five days, Akshay Kumar's Mission Mangal has now one more milestone to its credit. The film has surpassed the lifetime collection of Akki starrer Jolly LLB 2 within a week which is actually commendable. The multi-starrer space drama released last Thursday and immediately stormed the box office. Since then the movie has been enjoying a dream run at the Indian box office and will soon cross the Rs 150 crore mark as well in India.

That film added 49 crore nett approx after the extended eight-day first week."
