While Mission Mangal has turned out to be Akshay Kumar's biggest grosser in West Bengal, the film is set to break records in Mysore as well. Based on India's successful Mangalyaan mission, the movie is expected to end its theatrical run in India around Rs 180 to 190 crore.
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.
