Kapil Sharma’s return to the big screen hasn’t found the laughter it hoped for at the ticket windows. Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, the Anukalp Goswami-directed comedy sequel, is facing a muted run at the domestic box office, with collections remaining on the lower side even after its opening weekend.
Day 3 Numbers Tell a Cautious Story
As per early trade estimates, the film added ₹2.85 crore net on Day 3, taking its three-day total to ₹7.20 crore in India. The film opened with ₹1.85 crore on Day 1, followed by a slightly better ₹2.5 crore on Day 2, but the overall momentum has stayed limited.
For a sequel riding on familiarity and Kapil Sharma’s popularity, the numbers so far suggest a slow burn — and not the kind that typically helps comedies at the box office.
A Stark Contrast to the Original
The underwhelming start becomes even more evident when compared to the 2015 original Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon. The first film had raced ahead with ₹28.8 crore in its first three days, powered by a double-digit opening day and strong weekend footfalls.
That gap highlights how audience interest, market conditions, and sequel fatigue may be working against the second installment this time around.
What’s Working — And What Isn’t
Critics have largely agreed on one thing: the cast does its job. Kapil Sharma’s comic timing remains effortless, and his pairing with Manjot Singh brings in some genuine laughs. Veteran actor Asrani’s appearance has also been noted as a nostalgic high point.
However, reviews point out that the film stays firmly within its comfort zone. While there are entertaining moments scattered throughout, the stretched runtime and familiar beats prevent it from landing with the same punch as its predecessor — making it more of a casual family watch than a must-see theatrical outing.
About the Film
Written and directed by Anukalp Goswami, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 stars Kapil Sharma alongside Hira Warina, Ayesha Khan, Tridha Choudhury, Manjot Singh, and Parul Gulati. The film is produced by Ratan Jain, Ganesh Jain, and Abbas Mustan, and serves as a follow-up to the 2015 comedy that revolved around a man secretly juggling multiple marriages.
Final Words
Three days in, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 is yet to find its footing at the box office. While the humour and performances offer light entertainment, the numbers suggest that nostalgia alone may not be enough to pull crowds this time. The coming weekdays will be crucial in deciding whether the film can steady itself — or quietly bow out.
