Box Office: KGF – Chapter 2 firing all cylinders on Monday, Jersey doesn’t sustain

It was a day of two extreme contrasts on Monday. While KGF: Chapter 2 (Hindi) was extraordinary despite being in its second week, Jersey could just not find any sort of a hold despite this being its first Monday. The gap between the two movies is way too huge and now it’s only going to expand further in the coming weekdays.

Let’s talk about the Yash starrer first. The film is hardly getting impacted by anything around it and is confusing to have its victory march. This was pretty much evident by the fact that after Friday collections of Rs  11.56 crores, the film stayed quite stable on Monday to bring in Rs. 8.28 crores. This is simply superb since anything more than Rs. 7 crores would have been quite good too and here the film is still in the upwards of Rs. 8 crores. As a result, the overall total for the film stands at Rs. 329.40 crores and around Rs. 350 crores milestone is on the cards before the close of the week.

Meanwhile, Jersey is struggling as its total has reached only Rs. 17.25* crores. This is definitely not what everyone associated with the film would have bargained for during its making or later around the promotional and marketing campaign. A film with Shahid Kapoor in the lead and being a remake of a popular film warranted good footfalls at theatres. Moreover, the film has been made well too. It’s just unfortunate that audiences were not much aware around the film releasing and later with word of mouth not quite kicking in, even Monday stood at mere Rs. 1.75* crores.

A sad state of affairs indeed.

*Estimates. Final numbers awaited

Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources.
