Akshay Kumar gears up for his latest release, Kesari Chapter 2, and early signs show a promising box office start. After Sky Force, the actor now takes on a courtroom drama that brings an untold chapter of Indian history to the big screen.
Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the film tells the story of C. Shankaran Nair, a forgotten hero after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
Kesari Chapter 2 Sells 4700 Tickets In Top Three National Chains
As the release day inches closer, Kesari Chapter 2 has already made a solid impact in advance ticket sales. By 4.30 PM on March 16, the movie had sold around 4,700 tickets in the top three national cinema chains (PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis).
This is a strong start, especially considering it’s an A-rated film with no commercial songs. Based on the book The Case That Shook the Empire, the movie focuses more on its powerful story than typical Bollywood fanfare.
With just one and a half days left until release, the film is expected to sell around 40,000 or more tickets in advance bookings, which bodes well for its opening day performance. The real challenge, however, will be connecting with the audience. Word-of-mouth and the first reactions will play a big role. If the film connects with viewers, Kesari Chapter 2 could have a successful run in theatres.
Akshay Kumar Starrer Expected To Have A Double-Digit Opening
Industry experts predict an opening day collection could cross Rs 10 crore if the buzz keeps growing. The teaser and trailer have received a strong response, with many calling the Kesari Chapter 2 trailer one of Akshay Kumar’s best in recent years. The film has generated decent interest, especially due to its historical themes and intense storyline.
While expectations are high, the real question is whether the film can match the success of its predecessor, Kesari (2018), which performed exceptionally well at the box office. The Jallianwala Bagh massacre is a key moment in Indian history and will surely grab more attention from moviegoers.
