The much-anticipated action-drama Kesari Veer, starring Suniel Shetty, Sooraj Pancholi, Vivek Oberoi, and Akanksha Sharma, has struggled to make an impact at the box office. The film opened to a dismal response, collecting a meager ₹0.25 crore nett on its first day, marking one of the lowest openings of the year.
Kesari Veer Box Office Collection Day 3 Update
Despite hopes of a turnaround, Kesari Veer failed to gain momentum over the weekend. Here’s a breakdown of its performance so far:
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹0.25 crore nett
- Day 2 (Saturday): ₹0.30 crore nett
- Day 3 (Sunday): ₹0.35 crore nett
Total Box Office Collection Till Now
The film has managed to accumulate only ₹0.90 crore nett in its first three days, reflecting poor audience turnout and weak word-of-mouth.
What Went Wrong?
Kesari Veer faced tough competition from other releases and lacked strong promotional buzz. Additionally, mixed to negative reviews further dampened its prospects. With such low collections, the film is unlikely to recover its production costs unless there’s an unexpected surge in weekday numbers.
Worldwide Gross Update
The worldwide gross figures are yet to be updated, but given the domestic performance, expectations remain low.

Will Kesari Veer Be a Hit or Flop?
Given its weak opening, Kesari Veer faces an uphill battle. To be deemed a hit, the film needs to cross ₹60 crores lifetime, while ₹50 crores would be considered an average performance. With such a slow start, strong word-of-mouth or weekend growth will be crucial for recovery.
