Kesari 2 Box Office Collection Day 2: After a decent opening day, Akshay Kumar's movie Kesari 2 witnessed a “fantastic” growth on Saturday.

According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Kesari 2, nearing the double-digit mark on its second day in theatres, was in fact “very good” given that the opening day was a holiday.

While Kesari 2's overall collection is decent, Sacnilk said the Saturday jump has put it in a “much better position.”

The Akshay Kumar movie managed to strike a chord with its target audience, and paired with a “supremely positive” word of mouth, Kesari 2's earnings are expected to improve.

Kesari Chapter 2 vs Jaat

According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Kesari Chapter 2 witnessed fantastic growth on Saturday, Day 2 of its release. Its earnings increased by over 25% on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Jaat continued a steady run on Day 10. Despite a minor change in Jaat's earnings after Kesari 2's release, Sacnilk said the growth of Sunny Deol's movie was “dented” by the positive response to Akshay Kumar's film.

However, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh said, “The silver lining is that both films belong to entirely different genres.”
