Now all those critics who wrote off the movie Kambakkht Ishq upon the release will have to eat their words. The Akshay Kumar starrer has grossed more than 100 crores in the first week itself. There were predictions that such a thing might happen since the day there were advance bookings for the movie. The movie has made close to 70 crores in the domestic market and somewhere around 20 crores in the overseas market. Add to that 10 crores which the makers got after selling the music rights of the movie.

Sajid Nadiadwala and Sunil A. Lulla will be happy ones since they have booked huge profits for themselves. The movie was made with a humongous budget of 62 crores and it looks like all the money was well spent. It looks like some sort of a record when you hear that the movie grossed close to 19 crores on the very first day of the release.

The collections are still going on at a steady rate and the movie is expected to do good business in the coming few weeks also. Eros was responsible for distributing the movie all over the globe. The movie was released with as many as 2000 prints out of which 1400 prints were used in India and the rest overseas.

In the overseas markets, the collections have been especially good in countries like US, Gulf and Australia. The response at the box office will surely provide some respite to Akshay who was hugely disappointed after the failure of his two movies Chandni Chowk To China and 8X10 Tasveer earlier in the year.
