The Kerala Story 2 hits Rs 40 crore, but fails to ignite. Despite the hype, the sequel stumbles, facing a massive 25% drop and fading momentum.

Compared to the original’s Rs 220 crore legacy, this performance is a reality check. With Dhurandhar 2 looming, the film looks set to plateau at Rs 45 crore.

Is audience fatigue killing the sequel era?
