Akshay Kumar’s latest release, Kesari Chapter 2, is winning hearts at the box office. After a decent opening on Good Friday, the film has seen a strong jump on Saturday. With positive word-of-mouth and increasing ticket sales, this action-packed drama is quickly climbing the list of top-grossing Bollywood films of 2025.
Day 2 Box Office Collection
The film, which also stars R Madhavan and Ananya Panday, started its journey with a good opening day collection of ₹7.84 crore. On Saturday, Kesari Chapter 2 showed solid growth of 28.57%, collecting ₹10.08 crore. This brings the film’s total collection to ₹17.92 crore in just two days.
This jump in numbers clearly shows that audiences are enjoying the film. It began day 2 with a morning occupancy of 11.68%, but as the day progressed, footfalls increased dramatically. By the evening and night shows, occupancy went up to 42%, showing strong audience interest.
Top Performing Regions
Kesari Chapter 2 is performing especially well in regions like West Bengal, Nizam, and the Central Belt. Interestingly, the film also saw a rise in Kerala, which is the native place of C Sankaran Nair — a historical figure featured in the storyline. This regional boost has helped the film maintain strong numbers across India.
Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the film’s gripping narrative and solid performances have received positive feedback from both viewers and critics.
