Mission Mangal has set a weekend record for an Akshay Kumar starrer and by a healthy margin of around 12.50%. It beat the figures of 2.0 (Hindi) which collected 61.29 crore nett but it was a non holiday release and the Hindi versions did not have much of a release in the South. But on the other hand that film was not actually an outright Hindi film and Mission Mangal has comfortably beaten the numbers of all previous Akshay Kumar starrers for the first three days by big margins.

Kesari released earlier this year and Housefull 3 were the best at 54 crore and 53 crore respectively. Mission Mangal is not an initial type of film so the big first day has helped it put up these big numbers but despite the huge first day it is the Friday and Saturday numbers that are more impressive as they not coming on a holiday. The Saturday number is just little less than the big Eid release Bharat which did around 24.25 crore nett on its Saturday though it was the fourth day for that film.
