Kabir Singh collected a huge 20 crore nett apprx on day with excellent numbers across the board. It is the third highest opening day of the year after Bharat and Kesari but both those films were on holidays or part holidays. Kabir Singh also had normal ticket pricing compared to other films which means its footfalls on day one are higher than the likes of Kesari, Simmba or Kalank.

The film has put up strong numbers all over with Mumbai doing around 6 crore nett and Delhi / UP around 4 crore nett. It is basically double the collections of the highest solo Shahid Kapoor non holiday opener which was R... Rajkumar. The first day business alone ensures the film is going to be a huge success and time will tell where the film eventually goes.

There is a world cup cricket match involving India on Saturday but it is not high profile and it remains to be seen if it affects the film. It will be a minimal affect if there is any. The growth can also be limited as the film did strong occupancy on day one and the growth can only really come in the metros as A and B centers have recorded big numbers on day one which are unlikely to grow from these levels on Saturday but should be up on Sunday.
