Kesari Chapter 2 The film follows C. Sankaran Nair, a distinguished Indian barrister and member of the Viceroy's Council, who is initially tasked by the British colonial government with investigating the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar, expecting a report in their favour. As Nair uncovers the truth of the massacre and Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer's role in ordering it, his conscience drives him to sue the colonial government and Dyer for genocide. Aided by young Indian revolutionary Pargat Singh and determined law student Dilreet Gill, Nair faces off against Neville McKinley, a jaded Anglo-Indian lawyer with a personal vendetta, appointed to defend the colonial government. The intense courtroom battle exposes the colonial suppression of truth and media manipulation, while Nair’s pursuit of justice sparks a surge of patriotic resistance.

Box Office: Saiyaara Scored Big First Monday Worldwide; Crosses Lifetime Collection of Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2 and Sky Force In 4 Days

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, July 22 - Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda’s romantic drama Saiyaara continues its dream run at the box office. After delivering a historic opening weekend, the film held firm on its first Monday, scoring the joint biggest first Monday of the year with Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava, domestically. ## Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara netted approximately 24 crore (28 crore gross) in India on Monday, bringing its 4-day India total to 107.25 crore net (approx. 128 crore gross). The movie also had an excellent day at the overseas box office, bringing 6 crores on Monday for a total international collection of around 23 crores. With an additional ₹26 crore coming from the overseas markets, Saiyaara has now amassed an impressive ₹161 crore gross worldwide in just four days. ## Saiyaara beats lifetime worldwide collection of Kesari: Chapter 2 and Sky Force ## After four days, the Yash Raj Films production has grossed approximately 151 crores, which is enough to top the lifetime worldwide grosses of Akshay Kumar's Sky Force and Kesari 2, which earned 150 crores and 145 crores, respectively. ## That makes Saiyaara not just a breakout debut for its newcomers but also one of the fastest Bollywood films to outpace the global lifetime collections of star-driven titles this year. The Monday hold was particularly noteworthy as it signals solid word-of-mouth. Despite being a non-franchise and a newcomer-led film, Saiyaara has already become the 6th biggest Bollywood grosser of the year. ## By today or tomorrow, the latest blockbuster will also outgross Salman Khan's Sikandar (185 crores) to become the 5th biggest grosser of the year. With minimal competition until August 1st, Saiyaara will remain the top choice of moviegoers at the Hindi box office. ## Stay tuned...
