The film earned a staggering Rs. 29.16 crores on opening day, making it Akshay Kumar’s highest opener till date. 15 August also incidentally marked the 50th anniversary of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

Directed by Jagan Shakti, the film also stars  Taapsee Pannu ,  Vidya Balan , Sonakshi Sinha,  Nithya Menen ,  Kirti Kulhari,  HG Dattatreya, and Sharman Joshi.

Kumar essays the role of ISRO scientist Rakesh Dhawan, who along with Balan (portraying Tara Shinde), gets a team of scientists together to send a satellite to Mars.  Mission Mangal  is a fictional account of ISRO’s Mars Orbiter Mission or the Mangalyaan launched in 2013.

The entry into the Rs 100-crore club also marks Kumar’s third film to have reached the Rs 100-crore landmark within a few days of release, after  2.0  and  Kesari .

R Balki, who has previously worked with Kumar on Padman, has been on board this film as a producer, along with Cape of Good Films, Hope Productions, and Fox Star Studios. The film released alongside  Batla House , and has been proving to be a tough competitor for John Abraham’s cop drama at the box office.
