‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2’, directed by Anukalp Goswami and led by Kapil Sharma, witnessed a steep drop in collections on its first Monday at the box office. According to early estimates reported by Sacnilk, the comedy sequel earned around Rs 90 lakh in India net on Day 4, slipping below the Rs 1 crore mark. While weekday declines are expected, trade observers note that the fall is significant for a film that has struggled to build strong momentum since its release.

‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2’ vs ‘Tere Ishk Mein’ and ‘Mowgli’
Despite the subdued numbers, the film’s Monday performance is broadly in line with other underperforming titles currently in theatres. ‘Tere Ishk Mein’, now in its third week, earned around Rs 55 lakh on Monday, while the first-week release ‘Mowgli’ managed approximately Rs 35 lakh.
‘Dhurandhar’ and ‘Akhanda 2: Thaandavam ’ box office takeover
Trade analysts attribute much of ‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2’s’ struggle to the overwhelming box office dominance of ‘Dhurandhar’ and ‘Akhanda 2: Thaandavam’. Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna’s ‘Dhurandhar’ continues to rule the Hindi market, earning an estimated Rs 29 crore on its second Monday. The Aditya Dhar directorial has now amassed Rs 379.75 crore India net, with its gross total crossing Rs 455.5 crore and a worldwide tally estimated at Rs 579.25 crore.Meanwhile, Balakrishna Nandamuri’s ‘Akhanda 2: Thaandavam’ remains a force in the southern markets, adding an estimated Rs 5.4 crore net on Monday. The film has collected approximately Rs 64.5 crore from the Telugu net box office and Rs 1.4 crore from the Tamil net box office, taking its total gross to Rs 78.75 crore and worldwide collections to Rs 89.35 crore.
‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2’ becomes Kapil Sharma’s third highest earning film
The sustained dominance of both films has significantly curtailed the business of newer releases, including ‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2’. However, despite its muted run, the sequel has already emerged as Sharma’s third highest-grossing film. It is now only a few crore short of overtaking ‘Firangi’ to claim the second spot, while ‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon’ continues to remain the actor’s biggest hit with a lifetime collection of Rs 49.98 crore.‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2’ also stars Manjot Singh, Tridha Choudhury, Ayesha Khan, Parul Gulati, Hira Warina and Asrani in key roles.
