Including taxes, the gross earnings stood at 9.25 crores in the domestic circuit. The early reviews have been positive, and hopefully, there will be a good jump during the first weekend, paving the way for a respectable total.
Kesari Chapter 2 has earned far better than Akshay Kumar’s last theatrical release, Sky Force, in the overseas market. The Republic Day release raked in 1.50 crore gross in the international circuit. In comparison, the historical courtroom drama has 184% higher earnings, with 4.27 crore gross coming in.

Combining both regions, Kesari Chapter 2 has accumulated 13.52 crore gross worldwide on its opening day. It has also surpassed Jaat, which collected 13.35 crores on day 1.
