KGF Chapter 2 had a strong second weekend at the Indian box office as it grossed Rs. 132 crores approx, dropping 57 per cent from its first weekend, for a total of Rs. 753 crores in its eleven days run so far. The second weekend is the third-highest ever for any movie in India after Baahubali 2 and RRR. The weekend numbers put Rs. 900 crores back on the menu for the film and maybe just maybe if it is helped enough by the Eid holidays may even go close to Rs. 1000 crores, something which was completely written off after the drops for the Hindi version on weekdays.
Other than that, the overseas business of the movie was projected to be $21.50 million after the second weekend, which will put the worldwide total of the movie at Rs. 916 crores. The overseas and worldwide actuals will be posted later in the day.

The eleven days total in the Southern state is Rs. 72 crores and is all set to breach the three-digit mark.
The film became the biggest grosser ever in Karnataka with Rs. 136 crores plus overtaking Baahubali 2.
