Yet another set of records have been broken. KGF – Chapter 2 (Hindi) is now the third highest Hindi grosser ever, what with its collections been just next to Baahubali: The Conclusion (Hindi) (Rs. 510.99 crores) and Dangal (Rs. 387.38 crores) now. The film currently stands at Rs. 343.13 crores and in just 14 days has gone past the lifetime score of Sanju (Rs. 342.53 crores), PK (Rs. 340.80 crores) and Tiger Zinda Hai (Rs. 339.25 crores).
After collecting Rs. 7.48 crores on Tuesday, the film dipped a little on Wednesday but was still quite good at Rs. 6.25 crores. The momentum should continue today as well and one can well expect another day in the range of Rs. 5.25-5.50 crores that should take it within breathing distance of Rs. 350 crores before new releases Heropanti 2 and Runway 34 arrive.
Meanwhile, it would be curtains for Jersey this week itself as the film has been hardly collecting and has turned out to be a theatrical reject. The word of mouth hasn’t quite translated into footfalls which can be seen in Wednesday collections as well which were just a little above the Rs. 1 crore mark. Currently standing at Rs. 19.75 crores*, the film will go past the Rs. 20 crores mark but that’s about it. It won’t reach a lifetime of Rs. 25 crores, which is sad since the film deserved at least a double of that even in the worst case scenario.
*Estimates. Final numbers awaited
Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources
