India’s first space mission film, Mission Mangal, hit theatres just as ISRO turned 50. Mission Mangal is based on India’s first attempt to send a spacecraft to the moon, which they achieved successfully. What made this space programme even more special is the fact that no other country was able to achieve it on its first attempt.
Mission Mangal had high hopes before release and it looks like the film has come through on this expectations. The film has bagged the spot of Akshay Kumar’s highest opening as it was able to collect Rs 29.16 crore on day one at the box office. Not just that, Mission Mangal is also the biggest Independence Day opener in the last three years.
The movie featuring an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Sonakshi Sinha, Sharman Joshi, Kirti Kulhari, Nithya Menen and others has sure passed the first-day test with flying colours and it’ll be exciting to see how the film performs through the weekend.
