Kesari Chapter 2, starring Akshay Kumar, has officially opened for advance booking in limited shows across India. With only 2 days left before its release, full-fledged ticket sales are expected to begin by today evening. Fans and trade experts are now curious – can this new film beat the advance booking numbers of Sky Force and other top Bollywood movies of 2025?
Let’s take a closer look at the box office buzz!
Strong Buzz for Kesari Chapter 2 Across India
Even with limited screens open for booking, Kesari Chapter 2 is enjoying great excitement among fans. The film’s makers recently organized special fan screenings in five cities, and tickets for these events were sold out within minutes. This early response clearly shows that people are looking forward to this historical drama.
Kesari Chapter 2 vs Other Top Bollywood Advance Bookings in 2025
Here’s how Kesari Chapter 2 compares to other big movies in terms of advance booking sales so far in 2025:
- Chhaava (Vicky Kaushal) – ₹13.85 crore
- Sikandar (Salman Khan) – ₹10.09 crore
- Sky Force (Akshay Kumar) – ₹3.82 crore
- Jaat (Sunny Deol) – ₹2.59 crore
- Deva (Shahid Kapoor) – ₹1.67 crore
With just 3 days to go, Kesari Chapter 2 has a limited window to grab the spotlight. But considering the hype, it is very likely to cross the advance sales of Deva and Jaat. That means Akshay Kumar could beat Sunny Deol and Shahid Kapoor in the pre-sales race.
But will he beat himself? That’s right—Sky Force, another Akshay film, currently sits at #3 with ₹3.82 crore in bookings. So the real competition is Akshay Kumar vs Akshay Kumar!
BookMyShow Interest is Rising
The “Interested” section on BookMyShow is showing strong numbers. Over 55,000 users have already marked their interest in watching Kesari Chapter 2. This is a good sign that more bookings will pour in once full advance sales go live.
The movie’s theme – based on the Jallianwala Bagh massacre – seems to have caught the attention of many across the country.
All About Kesari Chapter 2
Kesari Chapter 2 is not a direct sequel to the 2019 hit Kesari, but it is described as a spiritual follow-up. This time, Akshay Kumar plays the role of C. Sankaran, a powerful lawyer who fights for justice in a courtroom drama surrounding the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
The film is directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and backed by Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective, and Cape of Good Films.
With an emotional storyline, powerful performances, and patriotic vibes, this historical drama could be one of Akshay Kumar’s most impactful releases of the year.

With advance booking slowly rolling out and buzz growing fast, Kesari Chapter 2 is looking to make a strong entry at the box office. All eyes are now on whether it can cross ₹3.82 crore in pre-sales and secure the #3 spot among Bollywood’s top pre-bookings of 2025.
