Mission Mangal Box Office: Akshay Kumar Scores The 2nd Best Opener Of 2019, Next Only To Salman Khan’s Bharat

2019 is turning out to be one of the better years for Bollywood when it comes to a good commercial run of movies and the release of Akshay Kumar’s Mission Mangal is yet another solid testimony to that fact. The film has taken a very good start on its Independence Day release and in the process found itself right amongst the top Day One grossers of the year.

As is evident from the list below, it has comfortably gone past the trio of K-brigade, Kalank, Kesari and Kabir Singh, when it comes to the opening day numbers. While each of these three films managed to just about go past the 20 crores mark, Mission Mangal has gone miles ahead of them and that too with a clash. With the collections actually close to the 30 crores milestone, this is indeed an achievement for the Akshay Kumar starrer.

Here are the biggest first day numbers of the 2019 releases:

Bharat – 42.30 crores

Mission Mangal – 29.16 crores

Kalank – 21.60 crores

Kesari – 21.06 crores

Kabir Singh – 20.21 crores
