Akshay Kumar’s Kesari has started the box office journey on a record-breaking note. The movie in its 4-day extended weekend, surpassed the collections of Ranveer Singh’s Gully Boy and Ajay Devgn’s Total Dhamaal.
After taking a very good start of 21.06 crores, Kesari accumulated a healthy total of 78.07 crores over the extended weekend. By clocking such numbers, the periodic-action drama has bagged the biggest opening weekend collections of the year. It surpassed Gully Boy’s 72.45 crores (4-day extended weekend) and Total Dhamaal’s 62.40 crores (normal 3-day weekend).
Although the movie didn’t pick up as expected, the collections have still managed to topple the biggies of 2019.
