After winning appreciation for his brilliant performance in Sky Force, Akshay Kumar is returning to the big screens with Kesari Chapter 2 this weekend. The courtroom drama directed by Karan Singh Tyagi unfolds a forgotten chapter from Indian history and tells the story of an unsung hero, C. Shankaran Nair. The advance booking of Kesari Chapter 2 is open now, and the initial response is pretty decent.

Kesari Chapter 2 sells 4,000 tickets in the top national chains

Co-starring R Madhavan and Ananya Panday in crucial roles, Kesari Chapter 2 has sold around 4,000 tickets in the top three national chains—PVR Inox and Cinepolis—for the opening day, as of 3 PM, tracked data on March 16th. 

This is a decent start in the pre-bookings since Kesari Chapter 2 is an A-rated movie with no commercial songs. It’s a content-driven movie inspired by the book, The Case That Shook The Empire. 

With 1.5 days left until the release, the movie is expected to record a good advance booking of around 40,000 admissions. The Akshay Kumar starrer heavily depends on word-of-mouth and initial audience reception. If the content clicks well with the audience, the movie will ensure a successful theatrical run at the box office.
