Kesari 2 OTT release: When and where to watch Akshay Kumar, Ananya Panday and R Madhavan's film online
Kesari 2 OTT release: Did you miss watching Kesari 2 in theatres? Here's your chance to watch the high-voltage courtroom drama. Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, starring Akshay Kumar, Ananya Panday and R Madhavan will be soon streaming online. The film was originally released on 18 April in theatres and received a warm response from the audience and critics.
As per multiple portals, Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh will make its OTT debut on 13 June.
The film will be available online on Jio Hotstar.
An official announcement from the Jio Hotstar team is yet to come.
Kesari 2 is helmed by director Karan Singh Tyagi.
It is the spiritual sequel to Akshay Kumar's hit action film Kesari (2019).
The film is based on the book The Case That Shook The Empire by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat, centred around C. Sankaran Nair and the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
It stars Akshay Kumar as Nair and also features R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday as lawyers Neville McKinley and Dilreet Gill respectively.
Kesari 2 is produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective, and Akshay Kumar's Cape Of Good Films.
The film saw a decent start at the domestic box office after minting ₹ 7.75 crore on its opening day. It went on to pick up pace, clashing with Sunny Deol's Jaat and Emraan Hashmi's Ground Zero. It also somewhat suffered after the release of Ajay Devgn's much-anticipated Raid 2.
Going by the latest updates and industry tracker Sacnilk, Kesari Chapter 2 made a total worldwide collection of approximately ₹ 145 crore. While its India Net collection was ₹ 92.63 crore, its India Gross collection was ₹ 110.47 crore.
The film recently completed 50 days in theatres since its release.
The Live Mint review of Kesari 2 reads, 'The film makes the same allegation as the recent series The Waking of a Nation—that Jallianwala Bagh was a premeditated massacre. An investigation of this, and the real facts of Nair's life, would've been enough for a fine, sobering film. Instead, we get a misleading wishful fantasy. 'The event speaks to the present times that we live in,' Tyagi told Mid-Day. 'It's a post-truth world where fake news is rampant.' But Kesari 2 is also post-truth.'

Housefull 5 Box Office Collection Day 5: Akshay Kumar-Abhishek Bachchan starrer shows dip on Monday, reaches 100 crore club, earns…
Housefull 5, featuring a stellar cast including Akshay Kumar, Sonam Bajwa, Jacqueline Fernandez, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, and Nargis Fakhri, has been released in cinemas with two different endings titled 'Housefull 5A' and 'Housefull 5B'. This unique concept has garnered a positive reaction from audiences. Viewers are excited to learn how both versions of the film conclude. The movie has still managed to hold its strong momentum and has now reached the 100 crore club league. Housefull 5 Passes Its First Monday Test The comedy-thriller continues to perform well at the box office, even as the buzz from the weekend begins to fade. As per the trade website Sacnilk, on its fourth day, Monday, Housefull 5 earned Rs 13 crore . Given that weekdays typically see a decline, this drop was anticipated, yet the film managed to maintain its performance. The biggest day for the film to date was recorded on Sunday, with collections soaring to Rs 32.5 crore , marking its peak single-day revenue so far. With these figures, Housefull 5 has surpassed the Rs 100-crore milestone , achieving a total of Rs 100.5 crore within just four days. On Monday, Housefull 5 achieved a Hindi occupancy rate of 17.62 percent, indicating a solid performance for a weekday. With this achievement, Housefull 5 has now surpassed the India net earnings of Akshay Kumar's period-drama film, Kesari Chapter 2 , which grossed Rs 92.53 crore. The focus now shifts to whether it can exceed the Rs 149-crore benchmark established by his aerial-action-thriller Sky Force . 100 Crore Club But Moving Towards Tag of Flop As per reports by Pinkvilla, Housefull 5 was made on a gigantic budget of Rs 240 crore , which means that the film is still far away from its target to achieve the tag of industry hit or blockbuster. As per all the estimates, the fifth installment still needs to rake in Rs 139.5 crore to surpass its total budget cost otherwise, it will become a flop despite reaching 100 crore. However, it is going to be a crucial point for this comedy thriller as the next big release is Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par , which is yet another highly anticipated film of this year.

Housefull 5 box office collection day 4: Akshay Kumar finally has a hit on his hands, comedy enters Rs 100 crore club
Housefull 5 box office collection day 4: Akshay Kumar's new film opened to mixed reviews last week, but appears to be doing well at the box office. After four days in theatres, the film has joined the Rs 100 crore club domestically. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the star-studded movie collected Rs 13.5 crore on its fourth day of release, Monday, after generating Rs 32.5 crore on Sunday. Housefull 5's total collection now stands at Rs 101 crore. The fifth instalment of the blockbuster Housefull franchise was released with two different climaxes, Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B. Both versions are identical, except the ending is different. On June 9, version A had an overall 19.78% Hindi occupancy at the theatres – with morning shows registered at 8.88%, afternoon at 21.54%, evening shows at 22.44%, and night shows standing at 26.24%. As per Sacnilk, the highest theatre occupancy was in the Jaipur region. On the other hand, the theatre occupancy for version B has been at the lower end, at 13.02%. Housefull 5 has already surpassed the box office collections of Akshay Kumar's recent film, the patriotic drama Kesari Chapter 2, which earned Rs 92 crore. The film is also expected to beat his action-thriller Sky Force. Previous 2025 releases that hit the Rs 100 crore mark domestically are Ajay Devgn's Raid 2, Salman Khan's Sikandar, and Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava. While Housefull 5 seems to be on the right track, the movie supposedly cost over Rs 350 crore to produce, which means that it still has a way to go before it can be seen as successful.

Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala's production banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, Housefull 5 features an ensemble cast of Akshay Kumar, Nargis Fakhri, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Riteish Deshmukh, Soundarya Sharma, Fardeen Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Ranjeet, Johny Lever, Chunky Panday, Dino Morea, Shreyas Talpade, Chitrangada Singh, Nikitin Dheer, and Sonam Bajwa.
