Steady Momentum at the Domestic Box Office

By Day 22, the film added Rs 57 lakhs to its total, continuing its steady journey despite new releases hitting screens.

Apart from its domestic success, 'Kesari 2' has also done commendably well overseas, earning Rs 32.1 crore internationally. This overseas contribution has significantly boosted the film’s worldwide total to ₹131.25 crore, marking it as one of Akshay Kumar’s stronger box office performers in recent times.
Its patriotic themes, high-stakes action, and emotionally charged performances have helped ‘Kesari 2’ connect with the Indian diaspora abroad, particularly in North America, the UK, and Australia.
