Yash's recent release KGF is busy enjoying an upward trend even in the Hindi territory. The project that's backed by Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment is being lauded for the actor's terrific performance and the film's execution. After minting Rs 2 crore on its opening day, the film witnessed a slight growth on its first Saturday and earner Rs 3 crore by the end. The film dubbed in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam, has released in 2460 screens in India and that's a huge number. While the film was expected to face stiff competition from Shah Rukh Khan's Zero, seems like the battle will not be as intense as we all assumed it to be. KGF Song Gali Gali: Mouni Roy Oozes Oomph With Her Sexy Dance Moves in Yash Starrer – Watch Video.

Popular trade analyst, Taran Adarsh took to his Twitter account to reveal KGF's Saturday collections that were slightly on an upper side. He wrote, #KGF witnesses an upward trend on Day 2 [Sat]... Biz should grow further on Day 3 [Sun]... Growth on Day 2 [vis-à-vis Day 1]: 42.86%... Fri 2.10 cr, Sat 3 cr. Total: ₹ 5.10 cr. India biz.

KGF was promoted on a huge scale as the makers combined its scale to Baahubali. While the Kannada film industry was yet to witness a film that's made on such a huge budget, seems like its success is not far away. With Zero underperforming at the Hindi box office and KFG enjoying a decent run, the time is not far away to declare the winner of this race.
