Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Sonakshi Sinha, Kirti Kulhari, Nithiya Menen and Sharman Joshi starrer Mission Mangal is literally unshakable at the Indian box office. After having a terrific opening weekend, the space drama is now witnessing a solid trending in its extended week 1. Directed by Jagan Shakti, the movie has already surpassed the lifetime business of Jolly LLB 2 and is now eyeing to beat the record of Kesari which also hit the screen earlier this year. Apart from that, Mission Mangal is also racing towards the Rs 150 crore mark at the domestic box office and should comfortably achieve the milestone in the second weekend itself. Mission Mangal Box Office Collection Day 7: Akshay Kumar's Latest Outing Surpasses the Lifetime Business of Jolly LLB 2, Collects Rs 121.23 Crore

He wrote, "#MissionMangal records fantastic numbers in its *extended* Week 1... Outstanding weekend, solid weekdays [reduction in ticket rates]...

Further, Boxofficeindia.com has reported, "The film is among the top three HITS of the year along with Kabir Singh and Uri - The Surgical Strike and will also probably be the biggest Akshay Kumar hit in the last five years or so. The film has done very strong business in Mumbai, Mysore and West Bengal. In West Bengal, it has done what 2.0 (Hindi) did in its lifetime and that is the biggest Akshay Kumar grosser in West Bengal till date." Mission Mangal Box Office Collection Day 6: Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan's Multi-Starrer Is Trending Well on Weekdays, Earns Rs 114.39 Crore

With no competition at the box office and no new release this Friday, Mission Mangal is set to have another superb weekend. The movie will probably do good business in week 2 as well, however, things will heat up at the ticket windows once Saaho arrives in cinema halls next Friday.
