KESARI CHAPTER 2 BOX OFFICE COLLECTION DAY 1| AKSHAY KUMAR FILMS OPENING DAY COLLECTION

Taran Adarsh shared the first day box office collection of Kesari Chapter 2, mentioning that the film has opened on expected lines. He stated that the Good Friday 2025 holiday should have resulted in better numbers but the increase in occupancy is a positive sign for the makers.

"Powered by glowing reviews and strong word of mouth, #KesariChapter2 has opened on expected lines across key markets. While the #GoodFriday holiday should've 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," Adarsh tweeted.

Taran Adarsh also shared the data for the opening collection of Akshay Kumar' 'content-driven' films.

He wrote, "Compared to the *opening day* business of #AkshayKumar's recent *content-driven* films - #MissionRaniganj [₹ 2.80 cr], #Sarfira [₹ 2.50 cr], and #KhelKhelMein [₹ 5.23 cr; #IndependenceDay] - #KesariChapter2 has fared significantly better on Day 1."

"It's also worth noting that #KesariChapter2 has had a fairly limited release - *approx 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 ₹ 7.84 cr," Adarsh mentioned while revealing the opening day collection of Kesari Chapter 2.
