On Thursday, Yash and Sanjay Dutt starrer KGF: Chapter 2 had an earth-shattering opening in all regions of India. Before its release, the film had enormous hype and was one of the most anticipated movies. It got positive reviews from critics and moviegoers and is now all set to break several box office records for Indian films. The Hindi version may even touch the 50-crore mark on the first day. The trend suggests that it may surpass the lifetime collection of SS Rajamouli’s RRR and become another 1000-crore movie. The Hindi version of the film has been released on ~4500 screens.
