Kesari Veer Day 2 India Box Office: Sooraj Pancholi’s comeback film sees weak Rs 30 lakh collection

The historical action drama Kesari Veer is off to a sluggish start at the Indian box office. After collecting Rs 25 lakh on its opening day, the film managed a marginal surge on Day 2 with earnings of Rs 30 lakh.

Kesari Veer Box Office Collection Day 1: Sooraj Pancholi’s third ‘comeback’ has disastrous opening of just Rs 25 lakh | Bollywood News

Kesari Veer Box Office Collection Day 1: The Suniel Shetty and Sooraj Pancholi-starrer Kesari Veer had a poor start at the box office, as it failed to cross the Rs 1 crore mark on its opening day. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film’s India nett collection on day one stood at just Rs 25 lakh, making it the worst opening of this year, falling short of even Azaad, which managed to collect Rs 1.5 crore on its first day. The film was promoted quite extensively and was also considered to be Sooraj’s latest comeback to Bollywood; he made his debut with the film Hero, and then starred in Satellite Shankar and Time to Dance. But the film’s opening day collections seem to indicate that the promotions didn’t make a dent in the public’s eye, as the film recorded poor occupancy through the day. Sacnilk reported that the morning and afternoon occupancy rates were 3.4% and 7.2%, respectively, while the evening and night shows grew to just 5.9% and 9.8%. ALSO READ: Paresh Rawal returns …
