The advance of KGF 2 (Hindi) which opened on Thursday morning has already crossed the full advance of RRR (HindI) at multiplexes in no time. The advance has mainly opened in multiplexes and single screens that open advance will open up over the weekend or Monday. It is by far the best advance for a film in Hindi post the pandemic and the best since War in 2019 if not better than that film. 

Basically KGF2 will cover the total advance of RRR (hindi) at multiplexes by the end of business today (Friday). The Cinepolis chain which was first to open advance hit the RRR (hindi) figures in less than 24 hours while Inox chain did in 24 hours and the other major chains will do within 36 or 48 hours. The ticket price rates are at the same price as RRR (hindi) and although these are high rates they worked very well for RRR (Hindi) and no doubt will work even better for KGF 2 to put up a huge opening weekend. The first day will be extraordinary as all areas will be on board unlike RRR (Hindi).

The advance of RRR (Hindi) was not great but it was still the best advance for a film in Hindi (Sooryavanshi opened at limited properties) post the pandemic and here KGF 2 is covering it in under two days which puts in line for one of the biggest advances ever for a film in Hindi or among the biggest. So far Bahubali - The Conclusion holds the record notching up 35 crore nett plus before release but how it compares with this will be known next week.

The best advance post the pandemic at multiplexes has been Spiderman - No Way Home but the tentpole Hollywood releases are at another level where advances are concerned and cant be compared especially at the pace they start. The difference between KGF 2 and Spiderman - No Way Home will be with the on the day audience which will be far superior for KGF 2 due to the mass audience in the Hindi speaking states.

It could also slowly catch the advance of Spiderman - No Way Home also as that stagnated closer to release after an insane flying start as the bigger multiplexes got sold out in the peak time screenings. Here there should be a more wider audience and on top it will have a larger advance in independent multiplexes and single screens next week.

The certainty is that KGF 2 will be competing with the biggest advances ever seen in terms of collections prior to release and could challenge any film in history outside  Avengers - Endgame and this includes Bahubali - The Conclusion, Spiderman - No Way Home and War.
