Kesari 2 Full Movie Collection: ‘Kesari 2’ box office collection day 7: The Akshay Kumar starrer inches towards Rs 50 crore as it completes a week |

Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Kesari 2’ where he plays C. Sankaran Nair, a brave Indian lawyer who took on the British Empire in court, has been getting some rave reviews. Due to word of mouth, the film has managed to stay steady and did a decent number on Monday as well. However, it is yet to cross Rs 50 crore at the box office even after its 7-day run. Of course, this wasn’t a massy movie like ‘Sikandar’ which was expected to get in those big numbers. But it can still be expected to see some growth. On Wednesday and Thursday, the film has dropped further and it may have to do with the terrorists attacks in Kashmir as due to that, the people in the country are not in the frame of mind to go and enjoy a movie in theatres.
Kesari Chapter 2 Movie Review

Kesari 2 sees further drop on Thursday

On day 1, the film made Rs 7.75 crore and there was good word of mouth, hence some growth was expected over the weekend. On Saturday, day 2, the movie made around Rs 9.75 crore which was a growth of around 25 percent, according to Sacnilk. There was further jump on Sunday and the film made around Rs 12.25 crore. It was expected to see a drop on Monday and it did but the collection is still decent and one hopes this is how it holds up all through the week. On Monday, which is day 4, ‘Kesari 2’ made Rs 4.5 crore. Interestingly, the Tuesday number was slightly high than Monday as it made Rs 5 crore but saw a drop on Wednesday and Thursday by making Rs 3.6 crore and 3.5 crore respectively. The total collection of ‘Kesari 2’ in 7 days is now Rs 46.05 crore.

More expectations from the film

While ‘Kesari 2’ might be on the niche side, the presence of a star like Akshay Kumar raises expectations. The film has got good reviews from all over unanimously, but perhaps it’s the subject of the movie which is serious or the fact that it may require a certain amount of intellect or zone, which is why, it hasn’t been able to find a connect in some two-tier, three tier centres, except for some areas of Punjab. For a film to do those big numbers, it’s actually its reach in small centres and single screens across the country which matters the most.

New Friday releases

On Friday, April 25, Emraan Hashmi’s ‘Ground Zero’ is releasing in theatres which may give competition to ‘Kesari 2’ and Sunny Deol’s ‘Jaat’ which is also doing a decent business in cinema. Provided, ‘Ground Zero’ gets good early reviews from the audience and manages to strike a chord. Meanwhile, ‘Andaz Apna Apna’ is also re-releasing on Friday and as per the advance booking trend, this Aamir Khan, Salman Khan starrer cult film has sold more tickets in advance bookings than ‘Ground Zero’. But it shall all depend on word of mouth before any film picks up. The weekend number will play a very important role in determining the fate of ‘Kesari 2’.
