Kesari Chapter 2 Advance Bookings: Akshay Kumar’s Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh will be released in theatres on April 18. The advance bookings for the film opened recently, and so far, the numbers paint a positive picture for the film. As per Sacnilk, the film has earned over Rs 12 lakh so far.
According to Sacnilk’s reports, the film has sold over 4000 tickets and has minted more than Rs 12 lakh so far. The advance bookings opened on Wednesday, April 16. Tickets have been sold for around 1948 shows, with the average ticket price being below Rs 250 across the country.
The most tickets have been sold in the Delhi-NCR region, amounting to Rs 3.54 lakh gross. Mumbai and Bengaluru are trailing at over Rs 1.48 lakh each. This comes after special screenings in Mumbai, Delhi, Chandigarh, Bengaluru and Kolkata have received positive responses from the audience.
Delhi CM Rekha Gupta reflected on the chilling portrayal of events, calling the film a deeply emotional experience. “This film gives you goosebumps as it portrays how a bloody Baisakhi was observed that day at Jallianwala Bagh, and how millions sacrificed their lives for the country’s freedom, only to be lost in the pages of history… we don’t even know their names. And yet, we are able to breathe freely in an independent nation today because of them,” she said.
Starring Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday, the film revisits one of the darkest days in Indian history, the April 13, 1919, Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Set in the aftermath of the brutal incident, it follows the journey of C. Sankaran Nair (portrayed by Akshay Kumar), a fearless lawyer who took on the British Raj in a legal battle to bring justice to the victims.
Kesari Chapter 2 is directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and produced by Karan Johar. The film has already stirred conversation ahead of release, especially after Tyagi’s recent comments about a documentary featuring General Dyer’s great-granddaughter. According to Tyagi, she attempted to justify the massacre by labelling the unarmed crowd as looters, a perspective he found deeply disturbing.
