Well, trust Akshay to be on his toes when it comes to making India a better place to live. We hope the ladies take up the challenge and share some good throwback pictures to help the cause.
Coming back to Mission Mangal, the film has done amazingly well at the box office. The film that released on Independence Day has raked in approximately Rs 105 crore so far. It registered the fifth-highest first Monday of the year 2019. Kabir Singh, URI: The Surgical Strike, Total Dhamaal and Bharat hold the first four positions. This despite having competition from John Abraham’s Batla House which also did well at the box office.
