Toilet: Ek Prem Katha has ended its run at the Box Office with collection close to Rs 134 crore, thereby becoming Akshay Kumar’s biggest grosser till date. The Sree Narayan Singh directorial just about managed to surpass the collections of Rowdy Rathore, which raked in approximately Rs 133 crore.
Despite being Akshay Kumar’s highest grosser till date, it still isn’t the biggest hit of all time for Khiladi Kumar. Mohra and Rowdy Rathore were far bigger hits as far as return on investment was concerned. As the film has ended its run at the ticket window, the entire credit for the success goes to Akshay Kumar as he not just presented an unconventional yet basic subject like ‘Sanitation’ to the Indian audience, but also made it reach numbers which not many in the industry would be able to.
