Kahaani 2 box office collection day 4: Vidya Balan collected Rs 2.04 on Monday.

Kahaani 2 starring Vidya Balan has collected Rs 19.01 crores. Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh shared, “#Kahaani2 Fri 4.25 cr, Sat 5.79 cr, Sun 6.93 cr, Mon 2.04 cr. Total: ₹ 19.01 cr [1235 screens]. India biz.”

Director Sujoy Ghosh and Vidya Balan have earlier collaborated on Kahaani. Kahaani was a taut thriller. It tells a story about a woman seeking the revenge for her husband’s fateful death. Vidya Balan along with a host of other Bengali actors was applauded for their powerful act on screen. So there was much anticipation about the movie amongst cinemagoers about is second part as well.

However, Kahaani 2 hasn’t managed to live up to the expectations. Most people have found the second half of film predictable. What was touted as a taut thriller with some gritty tale turned out to be stale drama when compared to its prequel Kahaani.

It is visibly clear in its first-weekend collection. On the other hand, Gauri Shinde’s Dear Zindagi is ruling the box office in its second week straight. Dear Zindagi stars Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan. Alia Bhatt’s portrayal of a modern vulnerable woman is getting huge praise from all corners. There were marked differences in both films’ opening weekend collection. While Kahaani 2 managed to collect Rs 16.97 crores, Dear Zindagi collected Rs 32.50 crores in its opening weekend.

Dear Zindagi is doing well amongst multiplex audiences. It had a limited release over 1235 screens. So could it be the reason behind Kahaan’ 2’s difficulties in attracting an audience to theatres?
