Box Office: 'Kesari 2' First Saturday (Day 2); 'Jaat' Second Saturday (Day 10) Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 19 - After a decent opening day, superstar Akshay Kumar's historical drama Kesari: Chapter 2 has witnessed a fantastic growth on day 2, Saturday, as collection flirting with the double digit mark which is very good given the fact that the opening day was a holiday.

Kesari 2 has a growth of 25%-35% today, as early estimates suggest the collection to be in the range of 9.50-10 crores net, which is superb. The total collection of the movie is around 17.25+ crores in 2 days, putting the weekend on track for around 30 crores.



While the overall collection of the movie is decent, the jump in collection after the partial holiday has put Kesari 2 in a much better position, as it has managed to strike a chord with its target audience. The word of mouth is supremely positive, which is expected to play its part during weekdays.

Meanwhile, Sunny Doel's action drama Jaat maintained the steady hold as collections are more or less similar from the second Friday, which was a partial holiday. According to the early estimates, the film is looking to score 3.75-4 crores net on the second day/day 10.

The total collection of Jaat is around 69.50 crores net in 10 days, heading for around 73-75 crores through the second weekend. The film's growth was dented by the positive response to Kesari 2, which might have also dented the former's chance to enter the 100 crores net club.
