Total: Rs 146.63 crore,” Taran Adarsh tweeted.’Kabir Singh’ had the ‘best’ second Saturday of the year and earned more than films like ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’, ‘Kesari’, ‘Bharat’ and ‘Gully Boy’. Meanwhile, Taran Adarsh also added that due to its blockbuster performance at the box office, the lifetime collection of ‘Kabir Singh’ is difficult to guess, but added that it is the ‘best trending film’ of the year so far. ‘Kabir Singh’ is the remake of Telugu hit ‘Arjun Reddy’, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Shalini Singh.
