Just Rs 25 Lakhs?! Kesari Veer Box Office Collection revealed. Is this the biggest disaster of the year for Suniel Shetty and Sooraj Pancholi? Click to see!
This highly anticipated Kesari Veer movie has just been handed the unfortunate distinction of securing the very lowest opening box office collection of 2025. What’s even more perplexing is its struggle to surpass even films like “The Bhootnii” and “Uperboys of Malegaon” on its very first day of release. This marks a significant disappointment for a movie with notable stars, raising concerns about its future performance and overall reception.
Bollywood Movie Kesari Veer Faces Disappointing Opening at the Box Office:
Despite featuring actors like Suniel Shetty and Vivek Oberoi, and marking Sooraj Pancholi’s return to the screen after a four-year hiatus, the film “Kesari Veer” significantly underperformed on its opening day, May 23rd. Early estimates from Sacnilk indicate the historical action drama garnered only ₹0.25 crore (₹25 lakhs) in India net on its first day. This translates to a low 6.62% Hindi occupancy across theaters on Friday.
Kesari Veer Box Office Records Lowest Opening of 2025—Big Trouble After Day 1!
“Kesari Veer” has unfortunately set an unwelcome record, marking the lowest opening box office collection of 2025. Its Day 1 earnings were significantly lower than even smaller films, failing to surpass “The Bhootnii,” which took in ₹65 lakhs on its opening day, or “Superboys of Malegaon,” which earned ₹50 lakhs. This highlights a particularly challenging start for the historical action drama.
Compounding its struggles, “Kesari Veer” is also up against strong competition from Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi’s “Bhool Chuk Maaf.” The latter film saw a robust opening, grossing a substantial ₹6.75 crore net in India on its first day. This stark contrast in performance underscores the difficult path ahead for “Kesari Veer” at the box office.
