Akshay Kumar's much-anticipated historical courtroom drama, Kesari Chapter 2, has taken a relatively slow start at the box office, with advance booking numbers hinting at a modest opening. As per early figures, the film has grossed Rs 8.53 lakhs in advance ticket sales on Day 1 across India, with 2,860 tickets sold for 1,776 shows in the Hindi 2D format. Including block seats, the estimated gross rises to Rs 89.36 lakhs as per Sacnilk—still below expectations for a star-led film of this scale.
