Akshay Kumar’s latest movie Kesari Chapter 2 is off to a decent start at the box office. The historical drama, also starring R Madhavan and Ananya Panday, has shown good growth over its opening weekend.
Three-Day Collection Crosses ₹29 Crore
According to early reports by Sacnilk.com, Kesari Chapter 2 has collected around ₹29.34 crore in its first three days. The movie opened with ₹7.75 crore on its first day. On the second day, the collection increased to ₹9.75 crore. By Sunday, it showed even more growth and earned ₹11.84 crore.
Thanks to positive reviews and good word of mouth, the movie picked up pace after its release. Although these numbers are not record-breaking, they are promising and show that the audience is interested in the story.
How It Compares to Akshay Kumar’s Last Film
While Kesari Chapter 2 is doing well, it’s still a bit behind Akshay Kumar’s previous release, Sky Force. That film had collected ₹27.50 crore just on its third day, and had a strong weekend total of ₹61.75 crore.
Still, every movie is different. Kesari Chapter 2 is more of a serious courtroom drama, while Sky Force was a big-budget action film. So the difference in numbers is understandable.
Sunday Show Occupancy Shows Growth
On Sunday, the film had an overall Hindi occupancy of 26.94%. This means nearly 27% of seats were filled in theatres. The morning shows saw about 17.28% occupancy, which grew to 36.60% by the afternoon. These numbers show that more people are coming in later in the day, possibly after hearing good things about the film.
What Is Kesari Chapter 2 About?
Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, Kesari Chapter 2 is a historical courtroom drama. It is based on the book The Case That Shook the Empire by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat. The story follows the life of C Sankaran Nair, a brave Indian lawyer who stood up to the British government.
Akshay Kumar plays C Sankaran Nair, who fights for justice after the tragic Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919. The film focuses on his courtroom battle against the British Raj to reveal the truth behind the event.
R Madhavan plays Advocate Neville McKinley, a strong opponent in the courtroom, while Ananya Panday plays Dilreet Gill, a young woman helping in the legal fight.
A Promising Start for a Serious Film
While the box office numbers may not be massive, Kesari Chapter 2 is doing well for a serious historical drama. The strong performances, powerful story, and positive feedback from viewers are helping it grow steadily.
If the trend continues, the movie could become another solid hit for Akshay Kumar and the team.
