Kesari Chapter 2, starring Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday, is still going strong at the Indian box office, even in its fourth week. Many expected the film’s earnings to fall sharply after the release of Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2, but that hasn’t happened. Thanks to its powerful story and positive word-of-mouth, the movie continues to pull audiences to the theatres.
A Strong Start and Steady Run
Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, Kesari Chapter 2 is a historical courtroom drama. The film hit theatres on April 18 and opened to mostly positive reviews from both critics and the audience. Its strong opening helped it earn a total of ₹46.54 crore in its first week.
The second week also saw a good performance, with the film collecting ₹28.81 crore. In its third week, the earnings dropped as expected but still reached ₹9.05 crore—a decent number considering the competition and market trends.
Fourth Week Performance: Still Pulling Crowds
Despite Raid 2 hitting screens and creating some competition, Kesari Chapter 2 held on to a decent number of shows in its fourth week. One reason behind this continued success is the lack of new big Bollywood releases. Also, with the ceasefire declared amid the India-Pakistan tension, more people are heading to cinemas again, giving the film a renewed push.
In the fourth weekend, the movie collected ₹3.67 crore, which is a 39.83% drop compared to the previous weekend’s ₹6.10 crore. Here’s how the weekend breakdown looks:
- Friday: ₹0.75 crore
- Saturday: ₹1.20 crore
- Sunday: ₹1.72 crore
The Sunday jump of 43.33% is a positive sign that the film is still winning the audience’s attention.
24-Day Total Box Office Collection
So far, Kesari Chapter 2 has made ₹88.07 crore net at the Indian box office in 24 days. With such a strong run and limited competition in the coming days, the film is all set to cross the ₹90 crore mark very soon. After that, it will be exciting to see whether it can touch or even cross the ₹100 crore milestone.
Star Cast and Production
Apart from the lead trio, the film also features Regina Cassandra, Simon Paisley Day, Amit Sial, and Alexx O’Nell in key roles. It is jointly produced by Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective, and Cape of Good Films.
Final Thoughts
With a solid mix of engaging content, strong performances, and the current lack of big competition, Kesari Chapter 2 has managed to stay in the spotlight even after 24 days. If the film keeps this momentum going, it could end up as one of the most successful Bollywood releases of the year so far.
