Box Office: Yash starrer KGF Chapter 2 posts Second Biggest First Week in India

The first week collections are second-biggest ever in India for any movie, just behind Baahubali 2, which grossed Rs. 660 crores and ahead of the recently released RRR. These three are the only ones to go over Rs. 500 crores in their first seven days, the next best being 2.0 well behind at Rs. 345 crores. In the box office language, the week in India is Friday-Thursday but for mid-week releases, the first seven days are called the first week. KGF 2 will add another Rs. 30-35 crores today for an extended first week of Rs. 620 crores or so. There isn’t much competition in the second week for the movie other than Jersey, which caters to different audiences.
