Mission Mangal has emerged as Akshay’s Kumar’s highest opening day earner.
Last year too, Akshay Kumar’s ‘Gold had trumped John Abraham’s
Satyameva Jayate’ when both had clashed on the 15 August holiday.

New Delhi: Akshay Kumar’s space drama Mission Mangal, at Rs.28.50
crore has clearly beaten its competitor for the Independence Day weekend, John Abraham-stater Batla House that earned Rs. 14.50 crore. Last year too, Kumar’s Gold (Rs.26 crore) had trumped Abraham’s Satyameva Jayate (Rs 20 crore), when both had clashed on the 15 August holiday.
“Mission Mangal takes a fabulous start, Independence Day holiday gives the business an additional boost, multiplexes outstanding, mass circuits good,” trade analyst Taran Adrash tweeted.
“Batla House fares well on day one, although numbers are affected due to the clash. Gathered momentum post noon onwards, Independence Day holiday gave its business an additional push,” Adrash added.
To be sure, Mission Mangal has emerged as Kumar’s highest opening day earner beating Gold (Rs. 23.63 crores), Kesari ( Rs. 20.40 crore), the Hindi version of 2.0 (Rs. 19.74 crore) and Singh is Bling (Rs. 16.98 crores).
Trade website Box Office India said apart from going 15-20% higher than
Kumar’s previous outing, Gold, the Jagan Shakti directed movie has
scored big in Mumbai and Mysore with the former looking to be around
Rs. 9 crores and Mysore hitting the Rs.1.50 crore mark.
As far as Batla House goes, the Rs.14 crore figure would have been a good total, if it is, was not a holiday, especially considering that Satyameva Jayate did almost Rs. 20 crore last year. The difference between Batla House and the older film is that the latter had done better in the smaller multiplexes and single screens of Maharashtra, Nizam, and central India.

They say faith can move mountains…… and well Kartik Aaryan had faith in himself and put in a lot of hard work to get a desirable body which even he didn’t believe he will achieve soo soon. Kartik who’s always seen in films as the perfect chocolate boy and boy-next-door never got an opportunity to flaunt his body. Kartik who had a lean body frame never really hit the gym hard and wasn’t really conscious about his body. In fact, the actor had gained a few kilos for his previous movie, no wonder, if you see the actor’s before picture, though he looks adorable his body looks a bit flabby and unfit.
Kartik Aaryan who is a complete vegetarian and had a lean body thought that it would be impossible for him to attain six-packs abs. With correct workouts and eating right, Kartik attained the body which has left everyone stunned and it is for all to see in the trailer and songs of SONU KE TITU KI SWEETY. These new shirtless pictures of him will definitely make girls drool over him and motivate the guys to hit the gym right away.
Speaking about his transformation, Kartik said, “Prashant Sawant
(celebrity trainer) is the best person under whose guidance I work. I had to actually put on some weight for my last film and was always driven to get back in shape.
Prashant’s training and his techniques are amazingly challenging but still achievable. It took a lot of focus and hard work to evolve and to channelize myself to achieve the body I wanted. It definitely wasn’t easy in the beginning especially the diet part since I’m a vegetarian. Well Kartik’s hard work has certainly off and we just can’t wait to watch
he flaunts his body next week.
