Akshay Kumar’s Toilet: Ek Prem Katha has a superb Monday, what with 12 crore more coming in. These are as good as it can get and now with 63.45 crore already in its kitty, the film is set to be a very major success.
The film would enter the 100 crore club by the second Friday itself and after that it would consolidate further since there isn’t much of a competition in the second week.
What needs to be seen now is how quickly does the Shree Narayan Singh directed and KriArj backed film turn out to be the highest grossing Hindi film of the year. Currently, Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees holds that record with a lifetime total of 137.51 crore. If the trending so far is anything to go by, the Akshay Kumar starrer should manage to go past that mark by the end of its two week run, and then eventually progress towards the 150 crore total.
