Kesari Chapter 2, starring Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday, is excelling at the box office, earning Rs 65.45 crore in 10 days.
Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh is on fire at the box office! Akshay Kumar's action-packed sequel has managed to outdo its opening day earnings by a huge margin, showing no signs of slowing down even on Day 10. The film's steady rise in numbers continues to surprise.
The period courtroom drama, which also stars R Madhavan and Ananya Panday, has been steadily drawing crowds. The film, which tells the gripping story of a lawyer challenging the British Raj post the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, is now seeing the rewards of its hard work on the big screen.
Kesari 2 is back on track and how! After facing a slight dip during the weekdays, the film has roared back to life over the weekend. On its second Sunday (April 27), it raked in a stellar Rs 8.5 crore, surpassing its opening day collection of Rs 7.5 crore.
With this impressive boost, the film's total earnings have surged to Rs 65.45 crore, as per Sacnilk. The historical drama, which brings to light the untold stories of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, saw an impressive 29.02 per cent Hindi occupancy on Sunday.
Kesari Chapter 2 serves as a spiritual successor to Akshay Kumar's 2019 hit Kesari. This time around, Akshay steps into the shoes of lawyer C Sankaran Nair, taking on the British Empire in the aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. R Madhavan plays his courtroom rival, Neville McKinley, while Ananya Panday takes on the role of Dilreet Gill. Since its release, the film has been receiving positive reviews from both critics and audiences.
A part of the film's review by News18 read, 'Kesari Chapter 2 is just a spiritual sequel to Kesari and has no connection to the Battle of Saragarhi. The only common link between both the films is Akshay Kumar and his story of relentless courage. But to be honest, Kesari Chapter 2 brings to the table so much more than chest-thumping patriotism and narabaazi. It largely is a courtroom drama and that precisely is what sets it apart from the plethora of other patriotic films. To put it more correctly, Kesari Chapter 2 is a historical film."
