Kesari Chapter 2 box office collection Day 5: Akshay Kumar and Ananya Panday starrer inches closer to Rs 40 crore mark with steady growth on Tuesday

Kesari Chapter 2, starring Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday, has maintained its momentum at the box office as it entered its fifth day of release. The film, which hit cinemas on April 18, Good Friday, has been earning praise for its engaging storyline and stellar performances from its cast, contributing to its steady run at the ticket window.
Kesari Chapter 2 Movie Review
According to early estimates reported by Sacnilk, the film earned approximately Rs 4.75 crore on its first Tuesday (Day 5), showing a minor but noteworthy growth in collections. This takes the film's total domestic box office collection to Rs 38.75 crore.
Box Office Journey So Far
The film started strong at the box office, earning an estimated Day 1 collection of Rs 7.75 crore. It saw numbers rise to Rs 9.75 crore on Friday, Day 2 recording an estimated 25% growth and earned its highest weekend collection on Sunday, Day 3, earning an estimated Rs 12.25 crore. On day 4, Monday, came an expected drop in numbers of Rs 4.50 crore and Tuesday's collections seeing a slight increase in numbers, earning an estimated Rs 4.75 crore.

Despite the expected weekday drop, Kesari 2 has managed to retain audience interest and is inching towards the Rs 40 crore milestone. Trade analysts view this consistency as a strong indicator of the film’s positive reception, with word-of-mouth playing a significant role in sustaining its performance.
However, the film's collections are still lower than Akshay's January release 'Sky Force' which crossed the Rs 100 crore mark. According to reports, despite the lower numbers, the Akshay starrer is still performing better in terms of audience turnout.
As of now, the film seems poised to cross the Rs 40 crore mark today, but questions remain over the film crossing the Rs 50 crore mark by the end of its first week at the box office.
Box office competition
The film is also facing stiff competition from the Sunny Deol movie 'Jaat' which earned an estimated Rs 2 crore on its second Tuesday at the box office.
What Lies Ahead
With Emraan Hashmi’s Ground Zero set to release this Friday, Kesari 2 faces fresh competition at the box office. However, if current trends hold, the Akshay-led drama may continue to hold strong through the week ahead. The film will have one more weekend to rake in the big bucks before it faces off against the Marvel superhero film 'Thunderbolts' on May 2.
