The dubbed version of K.G.F. Chapter 2 has written box-office history by starting off like a rocket. It opened on Thursday instead of the usual Friday, on account of the holiday for Ambedkar Jayanti and Mahavir Jayanti. It netted Rs. 53.95 crore on the first day which is not only the biggest opening of the year so far but also the biggest initial ever! Point to be noted is that the Hindi dubbed version of the film was hardly released in Nizam, Mysore, Tamilnad and Kerala circuits as the respective language versions opened there. Due to the almost unprecedented craze for the film, shows in many parts of the country started at 4 a.m. and 5 a.m., and they were either full or nearly full. The first-day total of all the versions — original Kannada, dubbed Hindi, dubbed Tamil, dubbed Telugu and dubbed Malayalam — put together was an astounding Rs. 117 crore (gross: Rs. 138 crore), the second-highest ever!
