Overview

• Kesari Chapter 2 collected ₹12.25 crore on Sunday, bringing its three-day domestic net total to ₹29.75 crore and global earnings to over ₹42 crore.
• Jaat's ten-day domestic net total reached ₹69.40 crore, with worldwide earnings at ₹91.75 crore, leaving it just over ₹8 crore short of the ₹100 crore global milestone.
• Kesari Chapter 2's positive reception and historical narrative have driven strong growth, particularly in multiplexes and regions like Punjab, despite competition from IPL matches.
• Jaat faced backlash over a controversial church scene, leading to its removal and an official apology from the producers, which may have impacted its box office trajectory.
• Both films benefited from holiday timing, but Kesari Chapter 2's momentum and audience shift pose challenges for Jaat's second-week performance.
