Kabir Singh had an excellent first weekend of 70 crore nett plus as the Saturday figures came in a little higher than previously estimated. The shocker is Nizam / Andhra as its final weekend collections are heading to over 4 crore nett and this area has already seen the original Telugu film. The circuit had the highest numbers after the top three circuits of Mumbai, Delhi / UP and East Punjab.

The Sunday of 27.75 crore nett are a record for the year as it beat the 25.50 crore nett of Bharat by a margin and the 24 crore nett of Total Dhamaal. The Sunday ensures a solid hold for the film on Monday though how strong will be only known on the day.

The film has beaten all records of previous Shahid Kapoor starrers by huge distances and is already his highest solo NETT grosser. The weekend is not that far of the big budget multi star cast film Padmaavat. If we look at the weekends this year then Bharat is top at 90 crore nett on Eid and this film is just 20 crore nett short of that. Total Dhamaal is next best with nearly 61 crore nett. The business of Kabir Singh till date is as follows.

Friday - 20,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 23,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 27,75,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 70,75,00,000 apprx

The footfalls of this film are much higher than the weekend numbers makes it look. Despite the number being around 22% less than Bharat, the footfalls may well be just 10% less than Bharat or even under 10%.
