Advance booking
As per a tweet by film trade analysis, KGF 2 has already sold tickets worth Rs 20 crore in north India, which includes Rs 14 crores for the Hindi version alone.
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh has also tweeted about the ‘phenomenal’ craze for the film in the Hindi belt. “KGF 2′ 6 AM shows and more…#KGF2 advance booking PHENOMENAL.

Ticket prices at *select locations*: ₹ 1450 / ₹ 1500 per seat [#Mumbai] and ₹ 1800 / ₹ 2000 per seat [#Delhi]. #Toofan is arriving,” read his tweet.

Meanwhile, the film will still go toe to toe in the south with the Tamil film Beast, which stars Vijay and Pooja Hegde and releases on April 13. The film is expected to surpass KGF 2 in the Tamil and Malayalam language markets at least. But it does not quite have the same visibility in the Hindi belt as KGF 2.
