After a modest start at the box office, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 has shown encouraging signs of recovery on its second day. The Kapil Sharma-led comedy witnessed better footfalls on Saturday, suggesting that audience curiosity and word-of-mouth may be slowly kicking in.
Box office update: Day 2 brings relief
According to early trade estimates from Sacnilk, the film opened with a net collection of around ₹1.85 crore on Friday. Saturday proved slightly kinder, with collections rising to approximately ₹2.50 crore. With that jump, the film’s two-day India net total now stands close to ₹4.35 crore.
While these numbers are far from blockbuster territory, the upward trend on Day 2 is being seen as a positive sign for a comedy-driven sequel that relies heavily on audience connect rather than scale.
Occupancy report: Nights doing the heavy lifting
The film’s occupancy figures on December 13 paint a familiar picture for light entertainers. Overall Hindi occupancy stood at 26.63 percent.
Morning shows opened quietly at just 8.05 percent, but attendance improved steadily as the day progressed. Afternoon shows registered 25 percent occupancy, while evening shows climbed to 31.66 percent. Night shows turned out to be the strongest, peaking at 41.80 percent — indicating that audiences are opting for the film as a casual weekend watch.
Film details and cast
Directed by Anukalp Goswami, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 continues the chaotic comedy setup that made the first film a surprise hit. Kapil Sharma once again leads the madness, supported by Manjot Singh, Tridha Choudhury, Ayesha Khan, Parul Gulati, Hira Warina, and veteran actor Asrani.
The sequel leans heavily on situational humour and Kapil’s familiar comic rhythm, clearly targeting family audiences looking for an easy, no-stress theatre outing.
Critical reception so far
Reviews have been mixed, with critics pointing out that the sequel doesn’t stray far from the formula of the original. ETimes described the film as a light, chaotic entertainer that works mainly for fans of Kapil Sharma’s humour, calling it more of a remix than a fresh standalone sequel.
Final words
Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 may not have opened big, but its Day 2 growth and improving night-show occupancy offer some hope. The real test will be whether Sunday numbers continue this upward trend. If family audiences keep turning up, the film could manage a respectable weekend despite its slow start.
