Not many films survive without a single A-list face on the poster. The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond is quietly defying the odds. Directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and starring Ulka Gupta, Aishwarya Ojha and Aditi Bhatia, the sequel entered its second weekend with a remarkable 12% drop on 2nd Friday — a sign of healthy audience word-of-mouth keeping the film breathing in an otherwise crowded marketplace.

How Is the Film Performing?
A mere 12% single-day dip entering Week 2 tells you the film has found its audience. With the 2nd weekend expected to push the cume past Rs. 25 crore, The Kerala Story 2 is quietly building a story that goes beyond its modest opening day of just Rs. 65 lakh.
The film is benefiting from something rare — free runway. With no major competing release until Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge arrives, audiences have limited options, and word-of-mouth is driving footfalls steadily. The film is expected to maintain traction through the second and third weeks before the Ranveer Singh juggernaut changes everything.
How Does It Compare to the Original?
Here’s where the real context hits. The original The Kerala Story was a phenomenon — opening at Rs. 6.75 crore and going all the way to Rs. 220 crore nett in its full theatrical run. The sequel’s Rs. 65 lakh opening day is a far cry from that. But comparisons can be unfair. For a film without established star power, crossing Rs. 20 crore in Week 1 is genuinely commendable — especially when you look at how other films in this narrative space have stumbled. The Bengal Files, for instance, fell sharply from the Kashmir Files template.
The Kerala Story 2 is finding its own modest but meaningful lane, and that’s worth appreciating on its own terms.
