Kesari Chapter 2, which arrived in cinemas today, i.e., April 18, 2025, has received a strong reception among cinegoers on the first day. Early estimates suggest that the Akshay Kumar-led movie will open at Rs 7 crore at the box office.
As per predictions, the courtroom drama was expected to collect in the range of Rs 7.5 crore to Rs 8.5 crore on the opening day. It is worth noting that Akshay's last release, Sky Force, had a double-digit opening, which reads as Rs 13.75 crore.

Also featuring R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday, Kesari Chapter 2 is set against the backdrop of the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Inspired by real-life incidents, it is the adaptation from the book titled The Case That Shook The Empire. It chronicles the "untold story" of India's top barrister, C. Sankaran Nair, who fights a legal battle with the Empire about the 1919 genocide incident.
After Kesari 2, Akshay has another legal drama to be released this year. Akshay will play the role of a lawyer in Jolly LLB 3, which will hit the screens on September 19.
