2019 was the best year for Akshay Kumar when he scored a hat-trick of double centuries - Mission Mangal, Housefull 4, and Good Newwz. However, the year had actually started with another biggie, Kesari. The film had collected Rs. 154.41 crores and surprisingly didn't quite enter the Rs. 200 Crore Club, even though it deserved that. Still, the lifetime number of the patriotic battle drama was quite healthy and kick-started the proceedings for the superstars for much bigger box office returns to follow.
Now the same could well hold true for Sooryavanshi as well which is the first of the ten-odd releases that Akshay Kumar would be seeing at a rapid pace from this point on. In just 11 days, the film has collected Rs. 155.73 crores already, what with Monday collections reading Rs. 4.50 crores. In the process, it has surpassed the lifetime numbers of Kesari in a matter of just 11 days, which is truly remarkable.
What's further common between Sooryavanshi and Kesari is that Karan Johar is associated with both films. The partnership is of course working for the duo (as evidenced in the Rs. 200 Crore Club success of Good Newwz as well) and now one waits to see which is the next film where Akshay Kumar and Karan Johar collaborate next. Will it be Dostana 2 or something else? Well, we would know soon.
