In an era where even big-budget films struggle to survive their second weekend, The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond has quietly become one of the most impressive box office stories of early 2026. Directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and featuring Ulka Gupta, Aishwarya Ojha, and Aditi Bhatia — none of whom are mainstream Bollywood stars — the film has defied every expectation since its release.

The Kerala Story 2: The Numbers Tell a Remarkable Story
What makes this run genuinely impressive is not just the total — it’s the consistency. The film posted just a 10% drop from its second weekend to its third, collecting approximately Rs. 6.75 crore nett across the third weekend with Sunday alone contributing Rs. 2.85 crore. That kind of hold is something even big-budget releases struggle to achieve in week three.
The film crossed the Rs. 40 crore nett mark on its third Monday and is now charting a course toward a final theatrical run of around Rs. 45 crore nett. In a vacuum, it could easily have surpassed Rs. 50 crore — but Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, Ranveer Singh’s massive blockbuster sequel, is arriving in cinemas this coming weekend with Wednesday evening previews. That arrival is set to compress the remaining screens and footfall for The Kerala Story 2 significantly, cutting short what could have been an even longer run.
Why This Success Matters So Much
Let’s be real — on paper, The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond had no business doing these numbers. No A-list stars, no big production house muscle, no franchise track record of its own to lean on. Yet it found its audience, held them, and then held them again the following week. That speaks to something deeper: content that connects with a specific, motivated audience creates sustained box office momentum that pure star power sometimes cannot.
The original The Kerala Story was a massive surprise success in 2023, riding on word-of-mouth and controversy in equal measure. The sequel has replicated the formula more quietly but no less effectively — proving the franchise has genuine staying power beyond a one-time curiosity.
