Film Overcomes Controversy Before Release

The kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond, starring Aditi Bhatia, aishwarya Ojha, and Ulka Gupta, data-faced several challenges before hitting theatres.

The film encountered protests, debates, and legal issues, similar to the controversies surrounding the first film.

Despite these obstacles, the movie generated significant public curiosity and strong theatre occupancy after its release.

The sequel is directed by vipul Amrutlal Shah, who also directed the original film.

Steady box office Growth

The film started slowly at the box office, but its performance improved steadily during the first week.

Positive word-of-mouth and audience curiosity helped the film gain momentum after the opening days.

By the end of its first week, the film collected ₹22.9 crore, establishing a solid base at the box office.

The movie maintained consistent footfall across theatres during weekdays and showed visible growth during the weekend.

Day-Wise Collection on Second Weekend

The second weekend played an important role in boosting the film’s overall earnings.

On Day 8 (second Friday), the film collected ₹2.75 crore, keeping its run stable.

On Day 9 (second Saturday), the collection increased to ₹3.85 crore, showing nearly 40% growth.

According to early estimates, on Day 10 (second Sunday), the film earned ₹3.18 crore.

Interestingly, even the india vs new zealand T20 world cup Final did not significantly affect theatre occupancy.

Total Collection in 10 Days

After completing 10 days in theatres, the total box office collection of The kerala Story 2 reached ₹32.68 crore.

The film reportedly had a production budget of ₹28 crore, which it successfully recovered by the ninth day of release.

With this milestone, the film has officially entered the safe zone and is now considered a box office success.

Race to Become a Bigger Hit

To achieve the “hit” status, the film needs to earn approximately ₹56 crore, which is double its budget.

It is also aiming to surpass the ₹36.25 crore lifetime collection of the film 21 to become one of the top-grossing bollywood films of 2026.

However, the upcoming release of Dhurandhar 2 may create competition in theatres.

The coming weekdays will determine whether The kerala Story 2 can maintain its momentum and move closer to the ₹50-crore mark.
