Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, and Ananya Panday-starrer Kesari: Chapter 2 hit theatres on Friday. The film got a solo release, banking on the Good Friday holiday at the box office. However, the Karan Singh Tyagi directorial, backed by Karan Johar`s Dharma Productions, managed to earn only in single digits on its opening day. The film, however, received glowing reviews from critics and audiences alike, and is hoping to gain momentum in the coming days.

Kesari Chapter 2 fares better than Akshay`s recent films

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh cited limited screens for the film as one of the reasons for the low opening collections. However, the film fared better than Akshay Kumar`s recent content-driven films.
