Box office battle

Box office milestone

In another key box office milestone, Michael surpassed the India gross collections of Lee Cronin's The Mummy, which earned approximately ₹23cr.

If the current trend continues, Michael is expected to further strengthen its box office standing despite facing competition from established domestic titles.
