Kesari Chapter 2 worldwide box office collection
Kesari Chapter 2 has earned ₹17.50 crore net ( ₹21 crore gross) in India in its first two days at the ticket window. Sacnilk reports that the film has grossed over $1 million ( ₹9 crore) overseas as well, bringing its global two-day haul to ₹30 crore. While the number is not extremely high, it gives the film a chance to head to ₹100 crore by the end of week one.
After two days, Kesari Chapter 2 is now the 7th highest-grossing Hindi film of the year, surpassing the lifetime collections of Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency and Sonu Sood’s Fateh. Of the films still ahead of it, Kesari 2 should surpass John Abraham’s Diplomat and Shahid Kapoor’s Deva by Monday. And while the lifetime collections of Chhaava and Sikandar may be a bridge too far for Kesari 2, it is likely to surpass Sunny Deol’s Jaat too.
