The Kerala Story 2 Crosses ₹40 Crore, Holds Steady Despite Monday Dip
The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond is continuing its theatrical run at a steady pace, even as weekday numbers begin to slow down.
Directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and starring Ulka Gupta, Aishwarya Ojha, and Aditi Bhatia, the film collected around ₹1 crore on its third Monday, marking a 25% drop from Friday—a fairly stable hold for this stage of its run.
Crosses ₹40 Crore in 18 Days
With this, the film’s total box office collection now stands at ₹40 crore nett in 18 days.
While the pace has slowed compared to its earlier weeks, the film has managed to maintain a consistent run. However, its journey ahead may face challenges, especially with new releases entering cinemas soon.
Eyes ₹45 Crore Lifetime Run
Had the film enjoyed another uninterrupted week at the box office, it could have comfortably pushed toward the ₹50 crore mark. But with Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge set to hit theatres midweek, The Kerala Story 2 is now expected to wrap up its run closer to ₹45 crore.
Sequel Falls Short of Original’s Massive Success
The film follows the success of its predecessor, The Kerala Story, which turned out to be a major blockbuster.
Opening day: ₹6.75 crore
Lifetime collection: ₹220 crore nett
Given that benchmark, expectations were naturally higher for the sequel. However, the second installment hasn’t been able to match that scale.
This trend isn’t entirely new—similar films that saw huge success in the early 2020s have struggled to replicate the same magic with their follow-ups.
