Kapil Sharma’s long-awaited return to the big screen in Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 has Bollywood buzzing. This sequel to the 2015 comedy hit pulled in ₹1.03 crore net on its opening day, December 12, 2025, proving fans couldn’t get enough of his signature antics. With occupancy hovering around 12.34% for Hindi shows, it’s a modest start—but for a pure entertainer packed with chaos and charm, that’s just the spark audiences needed. If you’re craving that old-school Kapil magic, this one’s got it in spades.
Directed by Anukalp Goswami, the film dives back into Kapil’s world of matrimonial mayhem, now with a cheeky religious spin that amps up the absurdity. It’s not reinventing the wheel, but who needs revolution when you’ve got reliable laughs? Let’s break down the numbers, the laughs, and why everyone’s calling it a feel-good win.
Day 1 Box Office: Solid Start Amid Holiday Hype
Releasing on a Friday amid festive vibes, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 didn’t shatter records, but it held its ground with ₹1.03 crore in India net collections. That’s a respectable figure for a comedy sequel banking on nostalgia—think of it as the cozy cashmere sweater of Bollywood releases, warm and familiar rather than flashy.
Occupancy painted a picture of steady interest building through the day:
- Morning shows: A sleepy 5.91%—folks nursing their chai, perhaps?
- Afternoon: Picking up to 13.90%, as word started spreading.
- Evening: 17.21%, the sweet spot where families piled in.
- Night: Zilch at 0%, likely due to late updates, but don’t count it out yet.
Region-wise, the love was uneven but enthusiastic. Mumbai clocked 14.33% across 263 screens, while NCR edged ahead at 16% in 394 spots—clear signs of urban crowds craving a giggle fest. Bengaluru surprised with 17.67%, and even Chennai hit a high 29% on just 15 screens. Down south in Ahmedabad, it lagged at 6.67%, but Jaipur’s 19.33% showed northern pockets were all in.
| Region | Occupancy % | Shows |
|---|---|---|
| Mumbai | 14.33 | 263 |
| NCR | 16.00 | 394 |
| Bengaluru | 17.67 | 71 |
| Chennai | 29.00 | 15 |
| Jaipur | 19.33 | 49 |
These early figures hint at potential weekend growth. Comedies like this often snowball once social feeds light up with clips—remember how the original raked in over ₹80 crore total? If Kapil’s timing holds, KKPK2 could follow suit, especially with no major clashes.
Kapil’s Comeback: Timing That’s Pure Gold
What makes this film tick? Kapil Sharma, hands down. After years dominating TV with his deadpan delivery, he’s back in a role tailor-made for him: a hapless guy juggling not one, but multiple tangled love lives. Critics note he shoulders the whole shebang effortlessly, his pauses loaded with punchlines that land like old friends reuniting.
The story weaves three plotlines at once—think a circus act where everyone’s dropping balls, but in the funniest way. There’s the classic wife-wrangling from the first film, now laced with holy hijinks that poke gentle fun without overstepping. It’s brisk, it’s breezy, and yeah, a few twists feel like they’re reaching—but Kapil’s charm smooths it all over.
Supporting him? A lively bunch that keeps the energy popping. Manjot Singh steals scenes with his razor-sharp quips—picture a sidekick who’s equal parts sly and sincere. Tridha Choudhury owns her screen time, bringing poise to the pandemonium, while Hira Warina, Parul Gulati, Ayesha Khan, Sushant Singh, and Jamie Lever pile on the laughs without stealing the spotlight. And that Honey Singh track? It’s the earworm you didn’t know you needed, bumping up the vibe just right.
Fan Frenzy: “Pure Entertainment” on Social Media
Social media’s ablaze, and it’s all love. Viewers aren’t mincing words: “Two hours and 22 minutes of non-stop chaos and chuckles,” one tweet raved, summing up the consensus. Fans adore how it stays true to Kapil’s roots—clean, clever comedy that doesn’t rely on shock value. “Finally, a film that gets what family nights need,” another chimed in, praising the cast’s synergy.
Sure, not everyone’s sold on the stretched bits or the so-so soundtrack, but the positives drown them out. It’s being hailed as a “madcap masterpiece” for anyone burnt out on heavy dramas. Compared to the original, this sequel mirrors the madness but freshens it with that faith-fueled frenzy—perfect for Diwali leftovers or just a mid-week pick-me-up.
In a year stacked with blockbusters, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 carves its niche as the unpretentious crowd-pleaser. Kapil’s not just acting; he’s reminding us why we fell for his humor in the first place.
