Akshay Kumar, Ananya Panday, and R Madhavan are all set to bring a powerful historical courtroom drama to the big screen with Kesari Chapter 2. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, this film has been creating a decent buzz even before its release. With a strong cast and an intense storyline, fans are excited to see what the movie has to offer. But the big question is—how well will Kesari Chapter 2 perform at the box office on its first day? Let’s take a closer look.
Kesari Chapter 2 Box Office Day 1 Prediction (Updated)
As per the current trends, Kesari Chapter 2 is expected to make a solid start at the box office. Trade experts predict that the film will earn around ₹15 crores on Day 1. If advance bookings pick up further, the number could go even higher—possibly closer to the ₹20 crore mark.
The trailer of the film got an overwhelming response online. In fact, it gathered massive views within just 24 hours of being uploaded to YouTube. The promotional content, including posters and teasers, has also been well-received. All signs point to a good opening day for this Akshay Kumar-led drama.
Where Will Kesari Chapter 2 Stand Among the Top Bollywood Openers of 2025?
There’s strong confidence that Kesari Chapter 2 will break into the top 5 Bollywood openers of 2025 with ease. Let’s compare it with some of the top films released this year:
- Jaat, starring Sunny Deol, opened at ₹9.62 crores.
- Deva, featuring Shahid Kapoor, started off at ₹5.78 crores.
Both these films will easily be left behind by Kesari Chapter 2. If the film crosses the ₹15 crore mark, it will be challenging Akshay Kumar’s own film, Sky Force, which currently holds the #3 spot with ₹15.30 crores.
The top two positions, however, might be out of reach:
- Chhaava – ₹33.10 crores
- Sikandar – ₹30.06 crores
- Sky Force – ₹15.30 crores
- Jaat – ₹9.62 crores
- Deva – ₹5.78 crores
- Sanam Teri Kasam (Re-release) – ₹4.50 crores
- The Diplomat – ₹4.03 crores
- Badass Ravi Kumar – ₹3.52 crores
- Emergency – ₹3.11 crores
- Fateh – ₹2.61 crores
With Kesari Chapter 2 likely to open around ₹15 crores, it could either match or overtake Sky Force, pushing it to the fourth spot. This would mean Akshay Kumar competing with himself for a place in the top 3 Bollywood openers of the year!
Final Thoughts
The buzz around Kesari Chapter 2 is growing stronger by the day. With an experienced director, a talented star cast, and positive pre-release reviews, the film is set for a good opening at the box office. If the public response matches the current excitement, Kesari Chapter 2 could set new records and become one of the biggest openers of 2025.
