Simultaneously, Akshay's film also shattered the lifetime box office collection records of Ajay Devgn's "Drishyam" (Rs 67.13 crore), Saif Ali Khan's "Phantom" (Rs 54.19 crore) and Varun Dhawan's "Badlapur" (Rs 50.07 crore).
"Singh Is Bliing" will now emerge as the second highest first week grosser of 2015, after "Bajrangi Bhaijaan".
Meanwhile, talking to Bombay Times, Akshay revealed why "Singh Is Bliing" worked at the box office.
"It was made in record time and budget and this time around Prabhu had a different bent of mind. Usually Prabhu's movies lean 80% towards the men and 20% towards women. In this film, he has given men and women a 50:50 deal. The characters played by Amy Jackson and Lara Dutta have equal footage as my own character, Raftar Singh," he told the daily.
Directed by Prabhudeva, the film features an ensemble cast, including Akshay, Amy, Kay Kay Menon, Lara Datta, Pradeep Rawat, Anil Mange, Rati Agnihotri, Yograj Singh and Kunal Kapoor among others.
