Kesari box office collection: The war based drama, starring Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra, is doing great at the box office and is unstoppable. Directed by Anurag Singh, Kesari has witnessed a robust opening weekend collection, and is expected to cross Rs 100 crore in a few days. The film, however, witnessed a drop in collection on Monday, and was slow on Tuesday, but that has not affected its charm as it continues to attract crowd to theatres. Notably, the film has earned the distinction of being the highest opening earner of this year, so far, after crossing Rs 50 crore mark in the first 3 days.
The film trade analyst, Taran Aadarsh, is quite hopeful about the prospects of Badla, which was released on March 21 (Holi), and stated that it would cross Rs 100 crore mark through his tweet, "#Kesari slows on Tue... North circuits continue to score and contribute to the total... Should cross ₹ 100 cr today/tomorrow... Thu 21.06 cr, Fri 16.75 cr, Sat 18.75 cr, Sun 21.51 cr, Mon 8.25 cr, Tue 7.17 cr. Total: ₹ 93.49 cr. India biz."
