Kapil Sharma’s latest release, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, has gotten off to a disappointing start at the box office. The comedy sequel managed to collect approximately Rs 1.75 crore on Day 1, reflecting low overall occupancy across theatres and a subdued audience response.
Despite Kapil Sharma’s popularity and the familiarity of the franchise, the film struggled to gain traction on its opening day. Trade observers point to stiff competition from Dhurandhar and a lack of strong pre-release buzz as key reasons behind the underwhelming numbers.
Low Occupancy and Muted Pre-Release Buzz
One of the major challenges for Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 has been its limited promotional impact. The trailer and music failed to create the kind of excitement expected from a mainstream comedy sequel, resulting in lukewarm advance bookings and weak footfalls on release day.
With audiences currently gravitating towards content-driven thrillers and big-scale spectacles, the film found it difficult to position itself as a must-watch theatrical experience.
A Familiar Comedy Setup
The film follows a familiar comic premise, centring on a man who is secretly married to three women from different faiths and is planning a fourth wedding while desperately trying to keep all his marriages hidden. The chaos escalates as a police officer begins searching for a mysterious suspect believed to be married three times, while the protagonist ends up confessing his tangled situation to a priest.
While the storyline leans heavily on situational humour and confusion-driven comedy, early audience reactions suggest that the narrative may not feel fresh enough to pull crowds to cinemas.
What Lies Ahead
The film’s performance over the weekend will be crucial in determining its overall box office fate. A strong jump on Saturday and Sunday, aided by positive word of mouth, could help Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 stabilise. However, with competition remaining intense and audience interest uncertain, the road ahead appears challenging for the Kapil Sharma starrer.

Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 needed a strong opening to build momentum, but its modest Day 1 numbers indicate an uphill battle ahead. Unless the film manages to gain traction through favourable word of mouth over the weekend, it may struggle to sustain a long theatrical run. All eyes will now be on whether the comedy sequel can recover or fade quickly amid a crowded box office landscape.
