KGF 2 Box Office Collection Day 1: Yash's Film Sets Record With Over Rs 53 Crore, Now Biggest Opener
Box Office India Trade Network

KGF - CHAPTER 2 has smashed all records at the box office as it collects around 52.50 crore nett beating the previous record of WAR of around 50.75 crore nett. Although this gap is not huge, it is mainly because KGF - CHAPTER 2 did not release in the South and fair value of this film is around 57-58 crore nett and that can only be seen when the final circuit figures come.

The circuit records have gone all over with more or less every circuit doing record business. Its easier to talk about the places where they will not go and those are likely to be Assam and the state of UP and here it is probably because of less cinemas than before and also maybe Ramazan. The overall circuit of Delhi/UP is flirting with a record and it will depend where the final figure will land.

The collections are simply extraordinary in every city across India and some places records have gone by insane margins. The film does not have a star but this is what brand value can do for a film when that film is in the right zone meaning a mass action type of film. The film has broken many barriers and also crossed 30 lakh footfalls which only a few films have managed in history.

The advances for the weekend are also very strong and although its too early to say, a near 175 crore nett four day weekend cant be ruled out while 160 crore nett is a given. The Overseas business for the Hindi version is also very good and maybe will hit $1.25 million with US/Canada crossing $300k on a working day in the Hindi version only. The Easter weekend is there which will ensure the film proves a HUGE HIT in Overseas also
-------------------------
KGF - CHAPTER 2 has collected an insane 112 crore nett all across India with 60 crore nett coming from the South if we include the collections for the Hindi version from the South also. In the South they see it as North and South so 52 crore nett has come in the North (all versions) and 60 crore nett has come from the South (all versions).

The figures are still being tabulated so there will be some variance and in the South, the excel sheets have many empty boxes because of the cash dealings especially in Andhra and Tamil Nadu. But its a credit to the makers for getting realistic NETT numbers which will be coming from the DCR's to give an accurate picture.

The collections are phenomenal from any angle. The figures of KGF 2 across the country are as follows:

Hindi (including regional in Hindi circuits) - 53,00,00,000
Karnataka - 20,00,00,000
Nizam/Andhra - 25,00,00,000
Tamil Nadu - 8,00,00,000
Kerala - 6,00,00,000
TOTAL - 1,12,00,00,000
GROSS BOX OFFICE - 1,35,00,00,000
