Kesari 2 Akshay Kumar Unravels the
After a promising start that saw packed theaters over the weekend, the buzz around Akshay Kumar’s latest film Kesari 2 had diminished significantly by Monday. The period drama, which told the tale of 21 brave Sikh warriors who fought against 10,000 Afghans in 1897, saw an astonishing 69.83% decline in box office numbers from Sunday.

Where it had raked in over 16 crore in its first three days, Monday brought in a mere 4.5 crore.
With a total domestic collection now standing at 34 crore after four days, it was clear that audiences’ intense initial interest had not endured. Theater occupancy rates across India supported this observation, plunging to a modest 14.39% as most seats went empty. Looking beyond India, the movie managed to earn just 49 lakh from international screenings since debuting globally this past Friday.

The highly anticipated film had a promising start on its opening day,
generating an estimated Rs 7.75 crore at the box office. Audience reception grew throughout the weekend, with ticket sales increasing substantially between Friday and Saturday and climbing even higher on Sunday. Despite this auspicious start that saw steady gains each day, the momentum proved difficult to maintain as viewership declined sharply when the workweek resumed. Some scenes featuring intricate cinematography and complex character interactions captivated crowds, while other moments left some perplexed by unexpected plot developments. Overall, though the opening weekend exceeded early projections, sustaining this level of interest over the long haul remained challenging given lulls in the narrative and varying reactions to certain creative choices.
The film Kesari 2 has been locked in a battle at the box office with Sunny Deol’s Jaat,
which has been playing in theaters for its second week. While Kesari 2 overtook Jaat’s earnings for last Monday, it still trailied Jaat’s opening Monday gross of Rs. 7.25 crore, a substantially higher amount compared to Kesari 2’s Monday collection of Rs. 4.50 crore. The intense competition between the two movies has kept audiences captivated as the winding plotlines of each film vie for viewers’ attention while tackling similarly themed stories of patriotism, duty, and sacrifice set in different time periods of Indian history.
