Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra-starrer Kesari is unstoppable at the box office. The movie recorded the biggest opening on 2019 at Rs 21.06 crore. The movie made a decent collection on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. But after that, the box office was slightly affected as IPL 2019 kick-started on Saturday evening.
