Now KGF Chapter 2 is being projected as a box office giant, and with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Initial estimates put the film’s three-day haul at around Rs. 40-41 crore, which would bring it to approximately Rs. 140 crore-plus overall so far. These are staggering numbers and this Yash film looks poised for an extended opening weekend in the region of Rs 185 crores.
The first four days’ (non-holiday) earnings make up nearly half of Baahubali 2’s entire domestic gross – but seeing how well KGF2 performs on Monday will allow us to predict what its lifetime earnings might look like. Considering these figures, we can say for sure that when all is said and done, it will have made more money domestically than Baahubali 2 – with a possible final tally over Rs 300 crore in the Hindi belt alone!
The masses were ecstatic about the new movie despite high occupancy rates over the first two days of release. There was even a great turnout for shows on Sunday, with some viewers claiming it to be better than Day Two. Yash as Rocky Bhai has become an instant pop culture sensation among audiences today, and this craze isn’t showing any sign of slowing down anytime soon.
The Hindi crowd got to witness a hero playing to the crowds for once – something that hasn’t been seen in quite some time – and they responded positively towards it; especially since KGF2 was such a big success (it had already made Rs. 300 crore before releasing) and RRR too released not too long ago (though it wasn’t nearly as successful).
