Jaat: The Front Runner

Sunny Deol’s Jaat stormed the box office with a strong opening weekend, collecting ₹30.25 crore in its first three days.
Boosted by massive single-screen appeal and positive word-of-mouth in rural belts, Jaat has so far outpaced its competitors comfortably.

Kesari 2: Solid Growth, Steady Hold

Akshay Kumar’s Kesari Chapter 2 had a relatively softer opening compared to Jaat but gained strength over its first weekend, thanks to positive reviews, word-of-mouth, and a Buy One Get One Free offer.
The film minted ₹24.5 crore in its first three days, with Saturday and Sunday showing encouraging jumps.

Ground Zero: Underwhelming Start

Despite starring a popular actor like Emraan Hashmi and focusing on a patriotic narrative, Ground Zero struggled at the ticket counters, managing to earn only around ₹3 crore across its opening weekend.
Limited promotions and a niche appeal may have contributed to its slow start.


Final Take:

While Jaat clearly leads the box office race after the first weekend, Kesari 2 remains in strong contention with better weekday prospects due to urban multiplex audiences.
Ground Zero will now rely heavily on word-of-mouth to pick up momentum and sustain a meaningful run in the coming days.
