The romantic comedy sequel, 'Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2,' starring Kapil Sharma, Ayesha Khan, and Parul Gulati, debuted on

December 12th and has struggled to maintain momentum at the box office. The film immediately faced stiff competition

from Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar,' a high-octane action film that has dominated screens since its release. Initial

numbers for 'Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2' showed promise, but the arrival of James Cameron's 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' on

December 19th significantly impacted its performance.

Over its first ten days, 'Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2' has grossed a net total of Rs 11.88 crore in India. According to

Sacnilk, the film saw a slight increase in collections over its second weekend, earning Rs 35 lakh on its second

Saturday and Rs 46 lakh on its second Sunday. The day-wise breakdown reveals a typical pattern for Bollywood releases: a

strong opening weekend followed by a decline during the weekdays. The film opened with Rs 1.85 crore on its first

Friday, peaked at Rs 2.9 crore on its first Sunday, and then gradually decreased to Rs 0.75 crore by its first Thursday.

The second weekend saw a further drop, indicating a struggle to retain audience interest.

Internationally, 'Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2' has fared slightly better, bringing the worldwide gross collection to

approximately Rs 14.9 crore. The Indian market contributed Rs 14.05 crore, while overseas business accounted for Rs 85

lakhs. However, this figure pales in comparison to the success of 'Dhurandhar,' which has already surpassed Rs 550 crore

globally, and 'Avatar: Fire and Ash,' which garnered over Rs 66 crore in India during its opening weekend.

The performance of 'Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2' highlights the challenges faced by smaller Bollywood films when released

alongside major tentpole productions. Kapil Sharma, known for his successful comedy career in television, aimed to

translate his popularity to the big screen with this sequel. The original 'Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon' (2015) marked

Sharma's Bollywood debut and achieved moderate success. However, the sequel's performance suggests that star power alone

is not enough to guarantee box office success in a crowded marketplace. The film's struggle underscores the increasing

dominance of large-scale action films and established franchises, making it difficult for smaller, comedy-driven movies

to find a significant audience.

The film also marks one of the last on-screen appearances of veteran actor Asrani, adding a layer of nostalgia for some

viewers. While the movie attempts to offer lighthearted entertainment, its commercial performance serves as a case study

in the current Bollywood landscape, where competition for audience attention is fierce and the success of a film is

heavily influenced by the release schedule and the presence of competing blockbusters.
