Kesari 2, the Karan Singh Tyagi directorial movie did a business of ₹4.42 crore net in the domestic market on Friday, Day 8. This marks 26.29 percent improvement from the previous day's collection when it earned ₹3.5 crore net in India. Although it missed the ₹50 crore mark in the first week, it crossed it on the first day of Week 2. Currently, eight-day run India box office earnings stand at ₹50.52 crore net.

Taran Adarsh predicted "healthy second weekend” for Kesari 2 after positive weekday trends and said, “The absence of any major release until [Thursday] 1 May gives the film an open window to capitalise on.”

Another analyst Sumit Kadel suggested that the rise in earnings on second Friday was due to ‘Buy One Get One’ movie ticket offer. According to him, the film is expected to mint around ₹15 crore over the weekend.

The filmmakers claimed that the movie netted ₹46.54 during its 7-day run.

Produced by Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective, and Cape Of Good Films, the first week box office earnings of ‘Kesari Chapter 2’ is much lower than Akshay Kumar's last movie ‘Sky Force.' The ensemble cast of Kesari Chapter 2 features Ananya Pandey, R. Madhavan, Regina Cassandra, Simon Paisley Day, and Alexx O'Nell in pivotal roles.

Based on the book ‘The Case That Shook the Empire by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat,’ Akshay Kumar movie ‘Kesari Chapter 2’ is centred on India's top barrister C Sankaran Nair, who fought against the British Raj to uncover the truth about the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
