It has been the case with almost all Akshay Kumar movies till date. His movies take big opening, make good money in the first week but failed to make it big at the box office. Akshay Kumar has so far delivered seven 100 crore movies but none of it managed to cross even 140 crores. Akshay Kumar’s highest grossing movie is Rowdy Rathore (134 crores) which was released way back in June 2012.
Akshay Kumar’s latest release Toilet: Ek Prem Katha was released on 11 Aug 2017. The movie had a superb opening week with the collection of 96 crores. Everyone was expecting the movie to cross at least 150 crores but the movie witnessed a huge drop in the second week and after 21 days the total collection of the movie stands at 132.5 crores.
