Kesari 2 Box Office Collection Day 9: Akshay Kumar's movie Kesari 2 witnessed an uptick of nearly 73 per cent in its earnings on Saturday, its second in the theatres.

The boost in Kesari 2's earnings can be attributed to the BOGO (Buy One Get One free) push the historical drama movie received on Friday, which led to better word-of-mouth.

According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the second weekend of Kesari 2 is likely to see a drop of only 30%- 35% from the opening weekend, which is a solid hold.

According to Sacnilk data, Kesari 2, which was released in theatres on April 18, collected ₹7 crore net on Saturday, Day 9. Its Saturday earnings were 72.84% higher than what it minted on Friday, i.e. ₹4.05 crore.

With this, the movie's nine-day collection stood at ₹57.15 crore.

The movie is on track for approximately ₹66 crore through the second Sunday, said Sacnilk.

“The hugely positive word of mouth has kept Kesari 2 super steady in its collection after the opening weekend,” it said, adding that it is a sign of its longevity that will likely keep it going despite the release of Ajay Devgn's Raid 2.

Theatre occupancy on Saturday averaged 25.22%, with attendance steadily rising throughout the day—from 11.24% in the morning to 37.17% for the night shows.
