As expected, word of mouth did the trick for Kesari Chapter 2 on its opening day. The film is now on the verge of securing a respectable start at the box office, with early estimates suggesting a Day 1 collection in the range of ₹7–9 crore nett, thanks to the Good Friday holiday.
The late-night shows continue to perform strongly (According BMS information The total ticket sales within 24 hours are expected to be around 1,45,000.. As of 10–11 PM, 7,230 tickets were sold on BMS, with a cumulative total of 1,15,580 tickets sold from 8 AM onwards, His’ SkyForce was also in the same range, but that figure excludes tickets sold at discounted rates.) the final opening day collection could inch closer to the higher end of the estimate, settling at ₹8 crore or slightly more. A ₹7 crore start would still be solid for a film with niche appeal, especially given today’s post-pandemic audience behavior.
“Kesari Chapter 2” May Rely on Word of Mouth
There’s also a comparison being drawn to another A-rated courtroom drama of Akshay Kumar, OMG 2, which opened at ₹10.26 crore and went on to earn over ₹150 crore lifetime. While some fans had expected Kesari Chapter 2 to open in double digits, the strong hold of Sunny Deol’s Jaat in mass circuits and single screens has impacted the final figure slightly.
Despite this, both Kesari Chapter 2 and Jaat are running strong, especially in Hindi heartland territories. The National Capital Region (NCR) recorded the best response so far, along with strong traction in Chennai and Bengaluru.
On BookMyShow (BMS), Kesari Chapter 2 has received a rating above 9, indicating a great reception from both critics and audiences. With positive reviews, strong word of mouth, and minimal competition in urban centers, all eyes are now on how the film performs across the weekend.
Oh my goodness very slow the opening
