**Mumbai, India** – Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday’s period drama, *Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh*, continues to perform well at the box office. The film, which recounts a lesser-known aspect of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, raked in over ₹8 crore on its second day, bringing its two-day total to ₹16.64 crore.
While the Saturday collection of ₹8.89 crore (early estimates) slightly surpasses its Friday opening of ₹7.75 crore, it still lags behind Akshay Kumar’s previous release, *Sky Force*, which achieved ₹33.75 crore in its first two days. Audience occupancy for *Kesari Chapter 2* showed growth throughout the day on Saturday, rising from 11.68% in the morning to 26.83% in the evening, reflecting the weekend boost. Overall Saturday occupancy reached 20.47%.
The film, which has received positive critical reception, tells the story of C. Sankaran Nair (played by Akshay Kumar), a lawyer who fought against the British Raj to expose the truth about the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday also star in key roles. One review praised the film’s “sensitivity” and impactful dialogues. Box office analysts will be watching closely to see if *Kesari Chapter 2* can maintain its momentum in the coming days.
