According to trade expert Taran Adarsh, Kabir Singh is firing on “all cylinders” at the box office.
“Metros, mass belt, Tier-2, Tier-3 cities — Kabir Singh wave grips the nation… Emerges Shahid Kapoor’s highest grosser in three days (after Padmaavat). Kabir Singh surpasses ‘opening weekend’ business of Total Dhamaal (Rs 62.40 crore/3,700 screens), thus emerging the biggest ‘non-holiday’ opener of 2019… A remarkable feat, since Kabir Singh was released on 3,123 screens,” he tweeted.
Since the time its marketing campaign started with the teaser, Kabir Singh has been garnering attention.
The teaser was launched almost 10 weeks before the release, which was followed by the trailer and songs launch. (IANS)
