Kabir Singh has had a fantastic first day as it collects in the 20 crore nett range. The film could even be the second highest opening day of the year if the final collections go towards 21 crore nett.

The film is excellent all over the country in all circuits and all centres. The mass and youth audience have taken to the film in a big way initially.

It is the highest ever opening for Shahid Kapoor beating the 18.21 crore nett of Padmaavat. This film did not release in places due to a controversy but that controversy also took the hype for this film to another level.

Padmaavat was not a solo hero film and the highest Shahid Kapoor solo was Shaandaar which had a holiday release but crashed thereafter.
