Akshay Kumar, R Madhvan and Ananya Panday starrer Kesari Chapter 2 was one of the much awaited films of this year. This film, which tells the untold story of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919, has been released in theaters and has received positive reviews from critics.
Shows were full in the morning
Now the early trends of the film have also come. Kesari 2 got around 3619 shows on Friday. The total occupancy of the film on the day of release was 16.22 percent. The morning show saw 12.67 percent occupancy, while the afternoon show saw a slight increase in the number of viewers. It was around 19.76 percent. Despite being released on Good Friday, the film's numbers do not look as promising as its first part, which was released about six years ago.
What was the first day collection?
