New Delhi, April 27 -- Kesari 2 Box Office Collection Day 9: Akshay Kumar's movie Kesari 2 witnessed an uptick of nearly 73 per cent in its earnings on Saturday, its second in the theatres.

The boost in Kesari 2's earnings can be attributed to the BOGO (Buy One Get One free) push the historical drama movie received on Friday, which led to better word-of-mouth.

According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the second weekend of Kesari 2 is likely to see a drop of only 30%- 35% from the opening weekend, which is a solid hold.

According to Sacnilk data, Kesari 2, which was released in theatres on April 18, collected Rs.7 crore net on Saturday, Day 9. Its Saturday earnings were 72.84% higher than what it minted on Friday, i.e. Rs.4.05 crore.
