No blockbuster opening, no star-studded cast, no flashy promotional campaign — yet The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond has quietly done something remarkable. In 15 days at the Indian box office, the film has accumulated Rs 34 crore nett, entering its third weekend with a commendably steady hold. That’s a story worth telling.
Directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and starring Ulka Gupta, Aishwarya Ojha, and Aditi Bhatia, the sequel has been powered entirely by word-of-mouth and audience trust in the brand. The film opened to just Rs 0.65 crore on its first day — a humble start — but Saturday and Sunday each pulled in Rs 4.50 crore, revealing exactly the kind of organic traction that earns a film its “hit” badge.

What Comes Next — and What Cuts It Short
The film is well on track to cross the Rs 35 crore mark in the coming days, with a potential lifetime collection of around Rs 40 crore nett — a figure that would comfortably establish it as a successful venture.
However, a full third-week run won’t be possible. Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, with its Wednesday previews and record-breaking advance bookings, will take over screens and significantly squeeze The Kerala Story 2’s remaining screen count. Its theatrical journey will effectively wind down sooner than usual.
Even so, the numbers speak for themselves — a sequel without franchise star power, sustaining itself for three weekends through audience word-of-mouth alone, is no ordinary achievement for Hindi cinema. It falls well short of the original film’s massive 2023 collections, but on its own terms, it has delivered a genuine success.
