Kisi ka Bhai Kisi ki Jaan day 2: Salman Khan starrer picks up pace on Eid, makes huge leap

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's latest Eid offering Kisi ka Bhai Kisi ki Jaan made a huge leap on the second day of its release, bringing the total to Rs 40 crore.

Mumbai:After grossing Rs 15.8 crore on the first day, Farhad Samji's film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan picked up steam at the box office on day two. The first day of sales for Salman Khan starrer Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, which was released on April 21 to largely unfavourable reviews, brought in Rs 15.81 crore. The film saw a surge, earning Rs 25 crore on the second day, bringing the total to about Rs 41 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk.

On Saturday, the family film had a 27.05% Hindi occupancy overall. It is obvious that the film's second-day sales were positively impacted by the Eid release.

Among all of Salman's previous Eid films, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan had the second-lowest first-day opening. The opening day revenue of Bharat (Rs 42.30 crore) was higher than that of Dabangg (Rs 14.10 crore), which was released in 2010. We now know, of course, that Dabangg ultimately became a hit movie, while Bharat underperformed. So it is difficult to predict what will happen to Salman's movie before the important test on Monday.

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, which is a mass family entertainer, has done well at the box office in spite of the audience's rejection of remakes. Remakes such as Shehzada starring Kartik Aaryan and Selfiee starring Akshay Kumar both had disastrous box office results. According to reports, Salman's film is a remake of Veeram, an early box-office hit starring Ajith.

The film has an ensemble cast of Pooja Hegde, Venkatesh Daggubati, Bhumika Chawla, Shehnaaz Gill, Palak Tiwari, Raghav Juyal, Vinali Bhatnagar, Siddharth Nigam, and Jassie Gill. The film may have received some positive reviews from the public, but critics do not appear to be overly impressed.
