Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh is all set to hit the big screens on April 18, 2025, coinciding with the Good Friday holiday. The highly anticipated courtroom drama stars Akshay Kumar as Advocate C. Sankaran Nair, with R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday playing significant roles. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the film serves as a spiritual sequel to Kesari (2019).
Advance Bookings Off to a Decent Start
With just hours to go before release, the film has witnessed a steady rise in advance bookings. In top national chains like PVR Inox and Cinepolis, the movie has sold around 15,000 tickets for its opening day. The surge in numbers came after recording 8,000 ticket sales a day prior. Analysts expect the final tally to reach approximately 40,000 tickets in advance sales before the premiere.
Strong Opening Expected on Holiday Weekend
Jointly produced by Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective, and Cape of Good Films, the film benefits from a solo release on a long weekend, which could boost walk-in audiences. Early estimates predict an opening day collection of around ₹7 crore, with strong word-of-mouth likely to determine its box office momentum in the coming days.
Every battle writes a story, but this one redefined history.
