Box Office: 'Kesari 2' Second Saturday Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 26 - Superstar Akshay Kumar's historical drama Kesari: Chapter 2 is heading towards a decent second weekend after showing a very good jump on the second Saturday. Earlier, the movie benefited from the BOGO offer on Friday, where the collection was higher than on Thursday. ## On the second Saturday (9th day), Kesari 2 has shown a solid growth of around 75% from Friday, as early estimates suggest the collection to be in the range of 6.75-7.25 crores net. The second weekend is heading towards 19-20 crores net with a drop of only 30%-35% from the opening weekend, which is a solid hold. ## The total collection of the movie after the second Saturday is around 57 crores net, on track for 66 crores (+/-) through the second Sunday. The hugely positive word of mouth has kept Kesari 2 super steady in its collection after the opening weekend, which is a positive sign for its longevity. ## There will be Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 next weekend, but glowing WOM is likely to keep Kesari 2 getting its share. Depending on how the new releases perform, the Akshay Kumar-starrer will have a chance to enter the 100 crores net club in the long run, and that would be a big success for the film. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, April 21 - Sunny Deol's action drama Jaat has entered the 100 crores club at the worldwide box office, becoming the actor's third film to achieve the feat. It is Sunny's second consecutive movie to hit the milestone after Gadar 2. ## Directed by Gopichand Mallineni, Jaat hit 100 crores gross on its 11th day after grossing approximately 88 crores in India and 12+ crores gross at the overseas box office. It is only the 4th Bollywood and 11th Indian movie of 2025 to enter this prestigious box office club.## Jaat proves to be the second consecutive success for Sunny Deol after the mega blockbuster Gadar 2: The Katha Continues. Before G2, the actor's Gadar: Ek Prem Katha was the only 100 crores grosser at the worldwide box office with 132+ crores (without inflation). ## The latest hit has a chance to become Sunny's second biggest grosser, but it needs to hold extremely well in the coming days to achieve that desired result. The competition with Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2 has slowed down Jaat's pace, otherwise, it could have become the second biggest hit for the actor rather easily. ## Stay tuned...
