So finally, Kesari 2 is out — and let’s be real, the buzz around it was huge. After the massive impact of the first Kesari, fans were expecting something grand. Now the real question is — did the sequel live up to the hype, or was it all just noise?
Here’s my honest take — no sugarcoating, just what I felt after watching it. Plus, we’ll also check out how it’s performing at the box office.
What’s Kesari 2 All About?
Without spoiling too much, Kesari 2 dives back into the world of bravery and legacy. This time, though, the focus is more on what happens after the legendary battle from the first movie. It explores how the next generation carries that legacy forward.
Akshay Kumar returns with his usual intensity, and we also see a few fresh faces who add something new to the story. There’s emotion, action, and quite a bit of drama, too.
Box Office Collection – The Money Talk
Let’s be honest — everyone wants to know how much it’s earning, right? So here’s a quick look:
- Day 1: ₹18.5 crore
- Day 2: ₹21.7 crore
- Day 3: ₹24.2 crore
- Opening Weekend Total: ₹64.4 crore
That’s a solid start. North India, especially Punjab and metro cities, is showing packed theatres. If it keeps up this momentum, it could easily cross ₹150 crore in just over a week.
My Review – The Real Deal (No Filters)
What Worked:
- Akshay Kumar’s Performance: He still has that fire. His emotional scenes hit hard, and the action scenes feel real.
- Background Score: It gave me literal goosebumps, especially in the final battle scenes.
- Visuals: Some shots are beautifully done. The battlefield looks raw and intense without being over the top.
What Didn’t Land:
- Pacing Issues in the First Half: The story takes time to build up. It felt a little slow at first.
- Predictable Moments: A few scenes were easy to guess like you already knew what was coming.
- Overdone Patriotism: A couple of dialogues felt forced like they were trying too hard to trigger applause.
Should You Watch It?
If you loved Kesari, then yeah, you’ll enjoy this one too. It may not hit as deeply emotionally as the first film, but it still delivers enough powerful moments. Especially if you enjoy patriotic war dramas, this one’s worth watching on the big screen.
I’d give it a solid 3.5 out of 5.
What’s Next at the Box Office?
With no major competition right now and strong word-of-mouth, Kesari 2 is in a good spot. If things go well, it might even enter the ₹200 crore club — too early to confirm, but not impossible.
Final Thoughts
Look, Kesari 2 isn’t perfect — but it doesn’t need to be. It delivers on what it promises: intense performances, solid action, and a story that tries to honor bravery and legacy. The first half may test your patience, but the second half makes up for it.
So if you’re planning to catch a movie this weekend, this one’s a decent bet.
