However, Box Office India reported that the Yash starrer’s collection at the ticket counters might be lower than its first day since the Good Friday holiday only happens in the metro cities, thus affecting the business of the single screens.
Film analyst Vamsi Kaka noted that the film’s collection (in south Indian languages) in the US crossed the 1.5 million dollar mark.
KGF 2 is said to have been released on about 10000 screens worldwide. As per reports, multiple versions of the film are available across India on about 6500 screens. And the Hindi version alone is playing on about 4000 screens.
In her review of KGF 2, The Indian Express’ Shubhra Gupta noted, “The trouble with films busy working on their look is that they forget about plotting. KGF 2 swings haphazardly between the past and the present. It comes off largely dull. Too much sound, a lot of fury, little impact.”
