As expected, Kesari - Chapter 2 did well on its second Friday as collections grew over Thursday. The film brought in Rs. 4.05 crores more and that’s an increment over Rs. 3.60 crores that had been collected a day before. Considering the fact that Ground Zero was the only new major release, and that film too caters to the multiplex audience, there may have been a bit of an impact at least and the collections could as well have slid a bit. However, none of that happened as Kesari - Chapter 2 turned out to be the first choice of the audience and that too by a distance.
The film is now all set to grow quite well today and while Rs. 5 crores is a given, there is also a good opportunity for it to top the Rs. 6 crores mark. If that indeed turns out to be the case, then that would be fantastic because from there anything around Rs. 7 crores on Sunday would be great. However, a crore less on each of the days won’t be bad trending either as the film will easily go past the coverage mark by the close of second week.
The Karan Singh Tyagi directed historic drama has now also scored a half century in 8 days and currently stands at Rs. 50.59 crores. While Rs. 60 crores will comfortably be crossed by the close of second weekend, anything beyond that would be an added bonus. Rs. 80 crores lifetime from here is pretty much on the cards for the Akshay Kumar starrer and what happens beyond that would be closely observed.
Note: All collections as per various box office sources
