Kesari has crossed the 150 crore nett mark in its fifth week with collections srt to be around 151 crore at the end of the fifth week. The film has crossed the business of Total Dhamaal depite having regional restictions which can be read about here (Kesari Victory). The film was a good commercial content film but due to it being overtly regional it meant that it became a metro / A centre film in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Bengal and Nizam / Andhra while in other circuits it did well in all centres.

There is a thing in the industry that these sardaar film have huge potential and it mainly comes due to the historic success of films like Gadar and Border but its not actually the case as outside these two films there have been many made but not many have actually done huge numbers. This is because outside Border and Gadar they find out it tough in the West, South and East.

There is always this talk about Akshay Kumar getting a 200 crore film especially among his fans but this number of Kesari ensures its around the corner. The volume of releases makes it harder for the real big number but with Kesari doing 150 plus then universal good commercial content will easily go above 200 crore nett as if you double the Mumbai and East business of Kesari then you are at 200 crore nett already. The bigger commercial films are going to come over the next 18 months and the dates are correct and if they are liked like Kesari then 200 crore nett will easily be crossed. The collections of Kesari till dare are as follows and its looking like a finish near 152 crore nett.
