KGF: Chapter 2 becomes the sixth Indian film to gross Rs 900 crore globally

KGF: Chapter 2 is in no mood to slow down at the box office. The Kannada film created another milestone on Monday as it became the sixth-ever Indian film to gross over ₹900 crore globally.

Taking its overall worldwide tally to ₹907.30 crore, as per trade sources the Prasanth Neel film earned over ₹23 crore on Monday. Analysts estimate that not only will the film surpass the collections of Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Secret Superstar this week but is likely to cross ₹1000 crore by the weekend. 

Film trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan took to Twitter on Tuesday evening to share the global gross of KGF 2, while also giving a day-by-day breakdown of the film’s earnings. He tweeted, “#KGFChapter2 WW Box Office: crosses ₹900 cr mark in just 12 days.”

Interestingly, the film’s earnings dwarf the recent release of Jersey's box office collection. Monday was KGF 2’s 12th day and it earned ₹23 crore. The Hindi version of the film alone earned over ₹8 crore on the day. In comparison, Jersey--for which Monday was the fourth day of release--could only manage ₹1.7 crore.

The Hindi-dubbed version of KGF: Chapter 2 has also continued to soar at the box office. On Monday, the film’s Hindi version earned ₹8.68 crore, taking its total collections so far to ₹329.40 crore.

KGF Chapter 2 is the sequel to its hit first part and marks the return of Yash as Rocky. The film has been doing a record business overseas and down south as well and has collected over ₹900 crore worldwide. It also stars Sanjay Dutt as antagonist Adheera and Raveena Tandon as the Prime Minister.
