Box Office: 'Kesari 2' Second Saturday Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 26 - Superstar Akshay Kumar's historical drama Kesari: Chapter 2 is heading towards a decent second weekend after showing a very good jump on the second Saturday. Earlier, the movie benefited from the BOGO offer on Friday, where the collection was higher than on Thursday.

On the second Saturday (9th day), Kesari 2 has shown a solid growth of around 75% from Friday, as early estimates suggest the collection to be in the range of 6.75-7.25 crores net. The second weekend is heading towards 19-20 crores net with a drop of only 30%-35% from the opening weekend, which is a solid hold.



The total collection of the movie after the second Saturday is around 57 crores net, on track for 66 crores (+/-) through the second Sunday. The hugely positive word of mouth has kept Kesari 2 super steady in its collection after the opening weekend, which is a positive sign for its longevity.

There will be Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 next weekend, but glowing WOM is likely to keep Kesari 2 getting its share. Depending on how the new releases perform, the Akshay Kumar-starrer will have a chance to enter the 100 crores net club in the long run, and that would be a big success for the film.
