Kabir Singh crosses Rs 250 crore-mark

Shahid Kapoor's comeback blockbuster 'Kabir Singh' shows no signs of slowing down. After pipping 'Uri' and 'Bharat' to become the biggest Bollywood hit of the year so far, the film has now romped past the Rs 250-crore mark in the domestic market.

"'Kabir Singh' stays strong, despite 'Super 30' making a dent in business (multiplexes specifically). (Week 4) Friday - Rs 2.54 crore. Total: Rs 252.14 crore. India business," trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted on Saturday.

Ever since the film hit the screens on June 21, it has been slammed by many, especially women, for celebrating "toxic masculinity".

That, however, clearly does not seem to have affected the film's box office prospects.

The film has been a winner right from the start. Earlier when it crossed the Rs 100-crore mark in India, it became Shahid's first solo-starring century grosser.
