Kesari Veer Day 2 India Box Office: Sooraj Pancholi's comeback film sees weak Rs 30 lakh collection
The historical action drama Kesari Veer is off to a sluggish start at the Indian box office. After collecting Rs 25 lakh on its opening day, the film managed a marginal surge on Day 2 with earnings of Rs 30 lakh. The two-day total now stands at Rs 55 lakh, which is underwhelming considering the time, cost, and effort that goes into making a film a period film. Here's a day-wise breakdown of its box office performance: Directed by Prince Dhiman and written by Kanubhai Chauhan, Kesari Veer brings to the screen the story of Hamirji Gohli, a lesser-known Rajput warrior who took a valiant stand against the Tughlak Empire to protect the revered Somnath Temple. Sooraj Pancholi plays the titular role while Vivek Oberoi portrays the antagonist. The cast also includes Suniel Shetty and Akansha Sharma in pivotal roles. Despite its patriotic and historic backdrop, the film has failed to make a strong impression on audiences. The word of mouth so far is average at best, with many viewers pointing out the film's dated screenplay and lack of emotional resonance. This tepid response has proved to be a stumbling block for the film's box office journey. Adding to its woes is stiff competition at the ticket counters. The Rajkummar Rao, Wamiqa Gabbi starrer Bhool Chuk Maaf is leading the race among new Hindi releases with far better occupancy and audience traction. Meanwhile, Kapkapiii, a comedy featuring Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade, is struggling to find takers. Amid this mixed bag of new releases, Kesari Veer hasn't found enough momentum to stand out. The film also marks yet another attempt at reviving Pancholi's career, but things aren't looking great. If Sunday doesn't show a substantial jump, which, with all due respect, we don't think it will, the actor will have to wait longer for success in showbiz. With tomorrow being a crucial day, makers will hope for a decent push, but going by the current trends, as mentioned above, Kesari Veer seems headed for a short-lived theatrical run.

Suniel Shetty addresses declining footfall in theatres to watch Bollywood films: 'Jaise kharab films de rahe hain humlog toh…'
Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty has opened up about the changing trends in cinema viewership , offering a candid take on why audiences today are hesitant to visit theatres. The actor-producer reflected on the industry's challenges and emphasised the need to focus on creativity and value. Suniel Shetty about the poor contents in Bollywood In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Suniel Shetty shared that the decline in theatre footfall is not unjustified, as filmmakers are offering subpar content. He drew a comparison with cricket, explaining that if one team consistently scores 200 runs while the other gets bowled out for 21, viewers would eventually lose interest. He added, 'Abh koi aapko kharab khaana dega toh aap woh khaana thodi khaaoge? Jaise hi filmain kharab de rahe hai humlog toh how do we, the audience to come? Mehangaai badh rahi hai. Everything is such an expensive process that it's completely".

He pointed out that films should not be driven by data and spreadsheets but should be entrusted to creative minds. He also spoke about the lack of theatres, particularly in smaller towns, which discourages people from travelling to watch films. With digital content like reels now easily accessible, he said filmmakers need to offer genuine value for money to draw audiences back to cinemas. Director Prince Dhiman supporting Suniel's views In the same conversation, director Prince Dhiman also emphasised that filmmakers need to align their content with what the audience actually wants to see. He noted that earlier, films were made with the viewers in mind, incorporating creative elements such as humour, emotion, and music to enhance audience engagement . However, he feels that such audience-focused creativity has declined over time. Still, he believes that if films are made for the audience, they will certainly return to watch them. Kesari Veer – The Legends of Somanth Suniel Shetty will soon be seen in ' Kesari Veer: The Legends of Somanth ', a historical action drama slated for release on May 16. The film also stars Sooraj Pancholi, Vivek Oberoi , and debutante Akanksha Sharma in pivotal roles.
