Yash and Srinidhi Shetty's Kannada magnum opus KGF had a great start at the box office. The movie earned Rs 18.1 crore in its first day at the domestic box office and collected Rs 19.20 crore on its second day. The film's total box office collection is Rs 37.21 crore so far.

Yash's movie has grossed Rs 24 crore at global box office in its first day. The movie's Hindi version has also improved its collections on Saturday.
