Kesari Chapter 2 was released in theatres on April 18, 2025, and it has managed to receive positive reactions everywhere, including from critics and the general public.
While the opening day collection was reported to be around Rs. 7 crores, the overseas record has turned out to be better. As per the latest update, the film is expected to touch the mark of $2 million at the box office in the first weekend and the first day number is said to be almost $500,000.

The film’s second-day numbers in India are yet to be made official, and it remains to be seen if the collection witnesses a jump on Sunday, March 20. Since there are no big releases in the upcoming weeks, the box office numbers might turn out to be better.
But a question remains about whether Kesari Chapter 2 would emerge as the highest-grossing film of this year. Let’s wait and see if that happens.
