Kesari 2 Box Office: Akshay Kumar’s Film Inches Towards Rs 50 Crore
Kesari 2’s Box Office Run: A Steady but Slow Climb
Akshay Kumar’s latest release, ‘Kesari 2,’ which tells the story of Indian lawyer C. Sankaran Nair’s fight against the British Empire, has been receiving good reviews. While word-of-mouth buzz has helped it maintain a steady performance, it’s yet to hit the Rs 50 crore mark after a week in theaters.
The film, which focuses on a more serious and thought-provoking subject compared to Kumar’s mass-appeal blockbusters, might be facing challenges connecting with audiences in smaller towns and single screens. To achieve big box office numbers, a wider reach in these areas is crucial.
Here’s a look at the movie’s collection so far:
- Day 1: ₹ 7.75 crore
- Day 2: ₹ 9.75 crore
- Day 3: ₹ 12 crore
- Day 4: ₹ 4.59 crore
- Day 5: ₹ 5 crore
- Day 6: ₹ 3.6 crore
- Day 7: ₹ 3.45 crore
Total: ₹ 46.05 crore in 7 days
The recent terrorist attacks in Kashmir might also be impacting viewership, with people feeling less inclined to go to the movies.
New Releases on the Horizon:
The box office landscape is set to get more competitive with the release of Emraan Hashmi’s ‘Ground Zero’ and Sunny Deol’s ‘Jaat’ this Friday. ‘Andaz Apna Apna,’ a cult classic starring Aamir Khan and Salman Khan, is also making a comeback. The performance of these new releases, especially ‘Ground Zero,’ will be crucial in determining ‘Kesari 2’s’ future success.
