KESARI CHAPTER 2 has done good business on its second Friday as it collected around 4 crore nett as the film come into its own. A good second weekend and week were always on the cards as although the collections did not look strong over the weekdays, they were very steady and this was likely to tell in the second week.
The film had a buy one get one offer to help at places which it did but to a limited amount as where the film is doing best, the offer was not there. The film has shown a decent jump from Thursday and more than that, the fair value of first Friday is around 5 crore nett and here the second Friday is doing 4 crore nett; this tells about the trajectory of the film. Just a 20% drop in real terms from day one to day eight and the film will consolidate this on the second Saturday.
KESARI CHAPTER 2 has 49.50 crore nett on the board which is a low number but this should change over the next two days as the overall numbers also become much more respectable. The film was looking at a straight to OTT release around six months back and and to get even 50 crore nett up on the board after eight days is a very good result. It could have done with an audience outside the metros but that was always going to tough going by the zone of the film. Overall the film has done well.
The eight day numbers of KESARI CHAPTER 2 are as follows.
Friday – 7,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday – 10,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday – 11,50,00,000 apprx
Monday – 4,35,00,000 apprx
Tuesday – 4,85,00,000 apprx
Wednesday – 3,65,00,000 appr
Thursday – 3,50,00,000 apprx
Week One – 45,35,00,000 apprx
Friday – 4,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL – 49,35,00,000 apprx

KESARI CHAPTER 2 continued to score again in its second week as Saturday saw strong collections in the 7-7.25 crore nett range which takes the film to a healthy 56.50 crore nett. The growth on Saturday was excellent at 75-80% as it consolidated the hold on Friday. The film is looking at a 35% fall weekend to weekend and this is coming with a holiday on Friday for first weekend; this makes this 35% fall actually less.
——————————————
KESARI CHAPTER 2 scored a good second weekend as it picked up almost 19 crore nett which is just a drop of just 35% from the first weekend and that was aided by a holiday on the first day. The total collections of the film are now 64 crore nett and by the end of the week it will be comfortably over 70 crore nett.
The film had a first week total which was on the lower side but now its making up ground and the two week total will be decent and it remains to be seen how the release of RAID 2 affects the film. Another open week and this film would have no doubt held up very well and would have had a good third week going by the trend in week two.
Now it remains to be seen how much the film can add post the second week. KESARI CHAPTER 2 continues to do far better business in circuits dominated by bigger centers like Mumbai, Delhi/UP, East Punjab and Mysore. Mysore is the standout as a circuit due to Bangalore and Delhi NCR is also excellent but due to a poor UP, it does not make the circuit as strong as Mysore comparatively.

KESARI CHAPTER 2 maintained its steady run on its second Monday. But as there was buy one get one free, it could have collected a little better. The film had a normal drop for the second Monday and takes the second week total to 21.25 crore nett. There is the discounted rate day on Tuesday which should hold collections and the second week is probably looking at 26-27 crore nett.
The second week will be good and will cover some ground for the low first week/ The film will be looking at a 72-73 crore nett total after two weeks and then it will be about what happens form there. The film opened at 7.5 crore nett on a Good Friday holiday and hence, it has done well to be standing at 70 crore nett plus after two weeks. However, it needs to run well post the second week.

KESARI CHAPTER 2 has scored well overseas as it heads for a $4 million plus total as collections stand at $3.50 million after thirteen days. The film has done well mainly in Australia and Canada though the US market could have been better. The US is normally in tandem in Mysore and with a strong Mysore, you would expect US to come on board but that has not really happened.
There was not much expectations in overseas as recent Akshay Kumar had seen very dull collections but the opening numbers itself came in higher than expected. The $4 million number is not huge or anything but this is above what was expected prior to release. The disappointment is the US market as it should have done better. Gulf is low but that was always likely. Canada will do more business than US which is rare and even more so for a film which has scored so well in Mysore circuit.
The worldwide collections of the film stand at around 115 crore and is probably looking at a 135-140 crore close.
The worldwide numbers of KESARI CHAPTER 2 are as follows.
India – 86 crore (71.25 crore nett)
Overseas – 29.50 crore ($3.5 million)
TOTAL – 115.50 crore
