KGF Chapter 2 Day 25: Will Yash’s film impact Ranveer Singh’s Jayeshbhai Jordaar?

Yash-starrer KGF Chapter 2 (Hindi) had a successful business even in the fourth week of its release. Marvel Studios’ Benedict Cumberbatch-starrer Doctor Strange in the Madness of Multiverse', which was released on Friday, May 6, and was one of the highly anticipated films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, could not show much of its charm in front of KGF’s second installation. And now, Ranveer Singh’s ‘Jayeshbahi Jordaar’, which will mark Shalini Pandey’s Hindi debut and is expected to release on May 13, may also face some challenges at the box office because of Yash’s film.

Although Benedict Cumberbatch’s 'Doctor Strange in the Madness of Multiverse' has occupied all the multiplex theatres of the country, Yash’s 'KGF Chapter 2' continues to dominate the single theatres in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, East Punjab and Bihar even in the fourth week of its release.
