'Kesari 2' raised its flag, 'Jaat' was defeated, the condition of ground zero became miserable
Kesari 2 has emerged as a powerful force at the box office, overtaking Jaat and Ground Zero. With strong weekday collections, the film has outshined others, signaling a clear shift in audience preference toward impactful storytelling over star-driven hype.

Bollywood News: The Mande report of April 28 has made it clear that now the 'Jat' is about to end in theaters. The acting of Sunny Deol and Randeep Hooda is as powerful, now the film's earnings have become as weak. On the 19th day, he earned just 65 lakhs, and the total collection was reduced to 85.65 crores. This film, with a budget of 100 crores, now seems to be facing losses.
'Kesari 2' became the real warrior of the box office
While the pace of 'Jat' stopped, Akshay Kumar's 'Kesari 2' made an entry at the box office. On the 11th day i.e. Monday, the film shocked everyone by earning 3 crores. The total collection so far has reached 68.40 crores, and not only - the film has also performed unmatched in the weekends after consecutive weekends.
The enthusiasm of 'Ground Zero' got cold on the fourth day
Emraan Hashmi's film 'Ground Zero', which came to awaken the spirit of patriotism after a terrorist incident, could not impress the audience specially. On the fourth day of release, there was a collection of only 70 lakhs, causing the total collection to reach 5.90 crores. Whether it is a patriotic issue or acting, the film probably did not live up to the expectations of the audience.
Number Game: Who killed?
- Film Monday earnings total collection
- Kesari 2 ₹ 3 crore ₹ 68.40 Crore
- Jat ₹ 65 lakh ₹ 85.65 crore
- Ground Zero ₹ 70 Lakh ₹ 5.90 Crore
- It is clear that 'Kesari 2' is now in a thorn in 'Jat', and can leave it behind in the coming days.
Viewers' decision: only strong content will rule
This week's trend is telling that the audience is now betting on stories, not just faces. While 'Kesari 2' served emotions and patriotism in the right balance, 'Jat' and 'Ground Zero' were seen trying to stand only on Star Power. Will 'Kesari 2' enter 100 crore club? The answer will be revealed soon, but at the moment it is clear - the real king of the box office has changed!
