Bollywood’s most controversial film of 2026 just refuses to quit. Despite protests across multiple regions, legal challenges, and heated social media debates even before its release, *The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond* has steadily drawn audiences to theatres — crossing ₹32.68 crore nett in just 10 days. [The Hollywood Reporter](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/hoppers-win-box-office-the-bride-bombs-1236524365/) And the best part? The weekend hold is genuinely impressive.

### What Makes This Run Impressive?

Let’s be real — this film had every reason to fail. Court stays, delayed evening shows, divisive word-of-mouth, and even a T20 World Cup Final competing for eyeballs on Day 10. Yet it still posted a healthy 18% Hindi occupancy on its second Sunday.

The second weekend added ₹7.25 crore to the tally, with only a 15% drop from the previous day — a solid hold by any standard for a film facing this level of headwinds.

With no Hindi competition until Ranveer Singh’s *Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge*, the film has a clear runway and is projected to reach ₹40 crore nett by the end of its theatrical run. [Tenvow](https://tenvow.com/box-office/hoppers-movie-collection-budget-ott-hit-flop/)

### Sequel vs Original — A Reality Check

According to [The Kerala Story’s Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kerala_Story), the original 2023 film became a massive national phenomenon, eventually crossing ₹300 crore worldwide. The original had earned a staggering ₹136.49 crore within the same 10-day window [Deadline](https://deadline.com/2026/03/box-office-global-hoppers-the-bride-1236746977/) — a benchmark the sequel was never realistically going to match. But for a no-star-power, socially driven drama directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh, ₹32 crore is a commendable, profitable outcome.
