In just five days, Mission Mangal has entered the 100 Crore Club. It achieved this feat on Monday itself and that too in a matter of just a few hours. Before this, Akshay Kumar has achieved a similar feat with the Hindi dubbed version of 2.0 as well but when it comes to a core Bollywood film, he has beaten his own record of Kesari (7 days) in only five days.
Here is a list of all the centuries that Akshay Kumar starrers have scored along with the number of days that they took to go past the 100 crores mark:
Mission Mangal – 5 days
2.0 – 5 days
Kesari – 7 days
Toilet – Ek Prem Katha – 8 days
Rustom – 9 days
Airlift – 10 days
Rowdy Rathore – 11 days
Jolly LLB2 – 12 days
Housefull 3 – 13 days
Gold – 15 days
Holiday – 15 days
Housefull 2 – 17 days
In fact that Mission Mangal could well have achieved this mark in four days flat had there been bigger jumps on Saturday and Sunday. That’s what kept the film in the 90s by the time the extended four day weekend came to a close. Nonetheless, the fact that the feat has been accomplished in a little over four days itself is also a testimony to the fact that Akshay Kumar has stayed on to be Mr. Consistent of Bollywood for years in succession now.
