Kapil Sharma’s latest release, Kis Kis Ko Pyaar Karoon 2, has opened to a disappointing start at the box office, failing to recreate the surprise success of its 2015 predecessor. Despite expectations riding on Kapil’s popularity and the recall value of the first film, the sequel’s Day 1 numbers tell a worrying story.
Kis Kis Ko Pyaar Karoon 2 box office collection Day 1
According to early estimates by Sacnilk, Kis Kis Ko Pyaar Karoon 2 collected around Rs 1.75 crore on its opening day, Friday. The film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 16.45 per cent, indicating weak footfalls across most shows. These figures place the film on the lower end of opening-day performances for mainstream Hindi comedy releases.
How the sequel compares to the 2015 film
The contrast with the first part is sharp. Released in 2015, Kis Kis Ko Pyaar Karoon was made on a modest budget of around Rs 20 crore and exceeded expectations at the box office. The film earned Rs 10.15 crore on Day 1, followed by Rs 8.6 crore on Saturday and Rs 9.81 crore on Sunday, putting it on a strong footing in its opening weekend. It was released across nearly 1,700 screens and included Arbaaz Khan, Elli Avram, Supriya Pathak, Varun Sharma, Manjari Phadnis, Simran Kaur Mundi and Sai Lokur.
What is Kis Kis Ko Pyaar Karoon 2 about?
In the sequel, Kapil Sharma returns as Mohan Sharma, with the story picking up from the chaos of multiple marriages. Mohan’s attempt to marry his girlfriend goes off track due to family pressure, religious conversions and a chain of misunderstandings that land him in four unintended marriages. Matters worsen when the police start pursuing him after his confession.

Kis Kis Ko Pyaar Karoon 2 stars Manjot Singh, Tridha Choudhary, Ayesha Khan, Warina Hussain, Parul Gulati and Jamie Lever in key roles. The film sticks closely to the slapstick comedy style of the first part, relying heavily on situational humour and farcical twists.
Social media reactions and early reviews of Kis Kis Ko Pyaar Karoon 2
Reactions on social media following the film’s release on December 12 have been mixed. Several users on X described the film as “loud, messy, and oddly familiar,” while others called it a light-hearted one-time watch. Some viewers criticised the film for its recycled jokes and predictable storyline, with a few calling it an unnecessary sequel.
At the same time, a section of the audience felt that Kapil Sharma carried the film with his comic timing and screen presence. Manjot Singh also received praise for his punchlines, while the female leads, particularly Tridha Choudhary and Parul Gulati, were appreciated for their performances.
Future box office predictions
With a weak opening day and mixed word-of-mouth, the film’s performance over the weekend will be crucial. The coming days will determine whether Kis Kis Ko Pyaar Karoon 2 can show growth at the box office or continue its underwhelming run.
