Mumbai, April 27

Actor Akshay Kumar-starrer 'Kesari 2' is currently in its second week, and it has been going strong at the Box Office, as per estimates by trade analysts.

On the opening day, the film minted Rs 7.84 crore net, according to analyst Taran Adarsh who pointed out that while the collections subsequently declined. With positive word-of-mouth reviews, the box office collections picked up pace afterwards, he said.

'Kesari 2' has raked in Rs 57.79 cr so far, he estimated.

"POWER OF SOLID CONTENT... #KesariChapter2 springs a massive surprise - its *second Friday* collections are close to its *first Friday* [Rs 7.84 cr], which had the advantage of the #GoodFriday holiday... A rarity in today's times! An excellent 77.78 per cent growth on its second Saturday clearly indicates that the film is here to stay for a while. Another strong showing today [Sunday] should comfortably push #KesariChapter2 past the Rs 65 cr mark. #KesariChapter2 [Week 2] Fri 4.05 cr, Sat 7.20 cr. Total: Rs 57.79 cr. #India biz | Nett BOC | #Boxoffice," Adarsh posted on X.

Saw it yesterday. The courtroom scenes are 🔥! Though I feel the pacing could've been better in the first half. Still a must-watch for history buffs.

Not surprised by the numbers! The marketing team did an amazing job with promotions. Saw Akshay at PVR yesterday - what a humble guy!

I appreciate the effort but wish they'd cast a South Indian actor for Sankaran Nair's role. Still, Akshay's performance is commendable.
