Kabir Singh took off to a sensational start and continues to see remarkable growth with audiences all praise for Shahid’s stupendous performance, gripping plot, soulful music and above all the chemistry between him and Kiara Advani.
Despite the on-going World Cup fever and India-Afghanistan match on Saturday, Shahid’s biggest opener saw major footfalls in cinema halls and scored big numbers at the box office on the second day of its release.
While Shahid has always proved his mettle as a powerhouse performer with films like ‘Kaminey’, ‘Haider’, ‘Udta Punjab’ and ‘Padmaavat’, the actor has certainly solidified his popularity with the masses and at the box office with films including ‘Ishq Vishq’, ‘Jab We Met’, ‘Vivaah’ & ‘R…Rajkumar’ amongst others.
