The film has been performing well at the box office. According to the makers, it made Rs 7.84 crore nett on Day 1.
Sharing the collection figures, Dharma Movies posted on Instagram: "A film about justice. A journey of truth. A triumph at the box office. Book your tickets now - link in bio! #KesariChapter2 in cinemas now, worldwide."
According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Kesari 2, which also stars Ananya Panday and R Madhavan, "has opened on expected lines across key markets."
"While the #GoodFriday holiday should have ideally resulted in a stronger Day 1 total, the noticeable rise in occupancies as the day progressed -- driven by excellent audience feedback -- is certainly encouraging. Compared to the opening day business of #AkshayKumar's recent content-driven films -- Mission Raniganj [Rs 2.80 cr], Sarfira [Rs 2.50 cr], and Khel Khel Mein [Rs 5.23 cr; #IndependenceDay] -- Kesari Chapter 2 has fared significantly better on Day 1. It's also worth noting that Kesari Chapter 2 had a fairly limited release -- approximately 1,000 cinemas across India... The release strategy -- focusing on multiplexes and premium single screens -- is a smart and wise move. All eyes are now on Saturday and Sunday, when strong word of mouth could translate into solid weekend numbers. #KesariChapter2 [Week 1] Fri Rs 7.84 cr," Adarsh opined.
'Kesari Chapter 2' focuses on the untold story of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The lead star, Akshay Kumar, plays the legendary advocate C Sankaran Nair in the film. It is directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and produced by Karan Johar.
