KGF Chapter 2 box office day 8 collection: Yash film crosses ₹750 crore worldwide, analysts predict another huge weekend

KGF Chapter 2 box office day 8 collection: The Prasanth Neel film, starring Yash in the lead, has now collected ₹750 crore at the box office worldwide and is all set to rake in more over the weekend.

KGF: Chapter 2 has grossed just over ₹750 crore at the global box office in its first eight days. The film's monumental success is evident by the fact that it earned a healthy ₹30 crore on Thursday, usually considered the weakest day for films in terms of collections. Although its collections are set to be hampered by the release of Shahid Kapoor-starrer Jersey on Friday, trade analysts are predicting another huge weekend for the film, which may see it cross the all-important ₹1000-crore mark in the next few days.

Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted that in just eight days, the film has become the most successful film in Hindi post-pandemic, beating The Kashmir Files and RRR (Hindi).
