Kapil Sharma’s return to the big screen hasn’t landed the way many hoped. Just four days into its theatrical run, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 is already showing clear signs of fatigue at the box office, with collections dipping sharply on its first working day.
After a modest weekend bump, Monday proved to be a reality check for the comedy sequel.
Monday blues hit hard
According to early trade estimates, the film managed to collect only around ₹90 lakh on its first Monday, pushing it into the “lakhs” zone much sooner than expected. For a film that needed strong weekday traction to stay afloat, the drop has raised serious concerns about its theatrical future.
So far, the movie’s total India net collection stands below ₹8.15 crore, keeping it far from the double-digit mark even after four days.
Weekend offered brief relief
The film’s highest single-day earnings came on Sunday, December 14, when it showed some growth thanks to the weekend crowd. However, that momentum didn’t translate into weekday footfalls.
Here’s how the film has performed so far:
- Day 1: ₹1.85 crore
- Day 2: ₹2.5 crore
- Day 3: ₹2.9 crore
- Day 4 (Monday): ~₹0.90 crore (early estimates)
Despite a slight upward curve over the weekend, the sharp Monday fall suggests limited word-of-mouth support.
Heavy competition didn’t help
One of the biggest challenges facing Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 is the crowded box office. Big-ticket releases like Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar and Akhanda 2 continue to dominate screens and audience attention, leaving little room for smaller performers to breathe.
With prime shows going to stronger films, Kapil Sharma’s sequel appears to be struggling for visibility as well as footfall.
How it compares to the original
The contrast with the 2015 original Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon is stark. The first film had a far stronger opening weekend, collecting ₹28.8 crore in its first three days, including over ₹10 crore on opening day alone. That early momentum helped it sustain longer at the box office — something the sequel is clearly missing.
Directed by Anukalp Goswami, who also penned the script, the second installment hasn’t managed to recreate the novelty or box office pull of the original.
Final Words
Four days in, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 finds itself on shaky ground. With weekday numbers dropping fast and competition only getting fiercer, the film’s road ahead looks challenging unless there’s a sudden turnaround. For now, this sequel is struggling to keep pace in a box office race that’s moving much faster than expected.
