The crime thriller has taken its domestic collection to Rs. 124.72 crore nett by the end of its 21st day.

Funny Mistakes in Akshay Kumar's Rustom movie. Did you notice them?
Directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, Akshay's film was released alongside Hrithik Roshan's "Mohenjo Daro" and it was expected that the latter will give tough competition to "Rustom." However, the crime thriller came up as the clear winner as "Mohenjo Daro" has been washed away at the box office.
Tiger Shroff's "A Flying Jatt" had released two weeks after "Rustom" and it was believed that it would slow down the pace of Akshay's film. Nevertheless, it continued its successful run at the box office at a steady speed. Sonakshi Sinha's "Akira" releases on Sept. 2 and it will be interesting to see if that makes things difficult for "Rustom."
