Not every film needs a blockbuster opening to prove its worth. *The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond* is a perfect example of a no-star-power film quietly winning at the box office — one week at a time.

| **Total (11 Days)** | **Rs. 28.75 crore** |

On its 2nd Monday, the film collected Rs. 1.25 crore — a 28% dip from 2nd Friday. That’s a reasonable hold for a film of this scale, and it signals that genuine word-of-mouth is keeping audiences engaged.

## What’s The Film About?

Directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and starring Ulka Gupta, Aishwarya Ojha, and Aditi Bhatia, *The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond* is a socio-political drama continuing the narrative of its controversial predecessor. The original *The Kerala Story* — a landmark [Indian documentary-style film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kerala_Story) — opened to Rs. 6.75 crore and ultimately grossed a remarkable Rs. 220 crore nett. That’s a tough legacy to live up to.

The sequel, by comparison, started slowly with a mere Rs. 0.65 crore on Day 1 but grew substantially over the first weekend thanks to strong audience sentiment and community-driven word-of-mouth.

## Will It Turn Profitable?

Based on current trends, the film is heading toward a **Rs. 40 crore total theatrical run** — a commendable number for a film with no marquee stars and modest production costs. Whether it turns a profit will depend largely on its P&A spend, but the signs are encouraging.

For perspective, *The Bengal Files* — another film in this narrative-driven political drama space — failed to replicate the magic of *The Kashmir Files*. So *The Kerala Story 2* holding steady at Rs. 28+ crore in 11 days is genuinely impressive for its category.
