<i>Kesari Chapter 2</i> Review: Akshay Kumar, A Miscast, Gives It All He Has
Box Office India Trade Network

KESARI CHAPTER 2 picked up on day one as it collected in the 7.50 crore nett range which is on the lower side but momentum is with the film and that is a huge plus. It was a holiday and hence, the collections could have been better but with this genre and zone, it is a struggle as the Hindi circuits don't contribute much. Its the same story with KESARI CHAPTER 2 as Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Bangalore getting good to decent collections while the rest are low.

The film has managed a better opening than recent Akshay Kumar starrers thought those cant really be the target as some have been very low. But even if we take out the holiday factor, the film is comfortably higher than the likes of SARFIRA, KHEL KHEL MEIN and MISSION RANIGANJ. But as mentioned above, these films are not the target and basically its an okay opening day due to the momentum of the film though still not in sync with the star status of Akshay Kumar.

The momentum of the film should continue on day two as the film will push higher and that is a huge positive as the film is growing from a holiday albeit from a number on the low side. This basically gives the film a chance at the box office and a chance of double digit number on Saturday and if not, it should be there on Sunday. The collections are also organic which is not the case with many films post the pandemic.
