Kesari Chapter 2 Day 24 Collection: 2025 has brought renewed hope for Bollywood's "Khiladi," Akshay Kumar.

Madhavan and Ananya Panday also play significant roles and have received critical acclaim.

Reports suggest the film collected approximately ₹1.55 crore net on its 24th day (Sunday), reflecting a b weekend and positive word-of-mouth. The film had collected ₹1.15 crore on Saturday.
The film's total earnings have now crossed ₹93 crore, and it is anticipated to join the 100 crore club by next week. This is welcome news for Akshay Kumar, who has been seeking a major hit for some time.
Competition from Red 2
However, the release of the Ajay Devgn starrer Red 2 has somewhat impacted Kesari Chapter 2's earnings. Red 2, featuring a large star cast and intense action-drama, has created some division among viewers. Nevertheless, Kesari Chapter 2's consistent performance and serious subject matter continue to set it apart.
