April 16, 2025 — With just two days remaining before its nationwide release, Kesari Chapter 2, led by Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, and Ananya Panday, is steadily picking up momentum at the Indian box office. Early signs from advance booking suggest the film is on track for a strong opening, especially as it benefits from a Good Friday holiday release.
Early Screenings Spark Excitement
Confidence in the film’s content has led the makers to organize exclusive early screenings in major metro cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Chandigarh, Bengaluru, and Kolkata. Tickets for these shows were snapped up almost instantly, highlighting the film’s positive word-of-mouth and ground-level buzz.
Advance Booking Report: Day 1 Sales Cross 3,000 Tickets
The official advance booking for day one opened yesterday and is now live across approximately 1,800 shows nationwide. As of 10 AM IST today, Kesari Chapter 2 has sold over 3,000 tickets, generating a gross collection of approximately ₹9 lakhs (excluding blocked seats). The average ticket price remains below ₹250, suggesting an accessible pricing strategy to encourage wider footfall.
The NCR region is currently leading ticket sales, followed closely by Mumbai. Among the states, Delhi and Maharashtra are topping the charts in advance booking interest.
Target & Expectations for Opening Day
Kesari Chapter 2 carries the legacy of the original Kesari (2019), and while it benefits from brand recall, this new chapter takes a courtroom drama approach and has been rated ‘A’ (Adults Only). Given its niche genre, strong word-of-mouth marketing will be key to sustained box office performance.
Still, with the holiday release advantage, a day 1 advance booking total of ₹4–5 crores would be considered a solid start, helping set the stage for the weekend.
The next 24 hours will provide a clearer picture of the film’s theatre expansion and pre-release momentum.
