Box Office: 'Kesari 2' Tops 100 Crore Gross Worldwide

Mumbai, April 27 - Superstar Akshay Kumar's historical drama Kesari: Chapter 2 has topped 100 crores gross collection at the worldwide box office on its second Sunday, becoming the second film of the actor of the year to do so.

Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, Kesari 2 grossed around 93.50 crores worldwide through the second Saturday (9 days) and on Sunday, the movie is looking to gross over 10 crores, which will take its total to over 100 crores in 10 days.



In India, the film is expected to be around 78 crores gross at the end of the day, while overseas collection will be around 27 crores. The movie was released amid a decent buzz but has surprised with its steady run, both at the domestic and overseas box office.

Kesari 2 is the second back-to-back film of Akshay to cross 100 crores worldwide, after Sky Force, which was released during the Republic Day weekend and went on to gross around 150 crores to emerge as a decent success. The latest movie, however, is expected to beat Sky Force in the long run.

Produced by Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective, and Cape of Good Films, the sequel is based on the book The Case That Shook The Empire by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat, centred around C. Sankaran Nair, the lawyer who fought for the truth behind the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
