Kesari Chapter 2 vs Jaat

Kesari 2, which opened at ₹7.75 crores net on Good Friday, was able to pull through the weekend with better-than-expected numbers.

According to Sacnilk, the movie is likely to have a solid hold on Monday, which is crucial for its success. 

The positive trend for Akshay Kumar's movie over the weekend also resulted in a surge in showcasing, as Kesari 2 has a limited release on around 1700 screens.

However, the positive response to Kesari 2 didn't let Sunny Deol's Jaat score bigger growth, which looked possible before the former's release.

“Going forward, the sequel is expected to remain the first choice of moviegoers, and that might stop Jaat before the ₹100 crore net club,” Sacnilk said.
