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.

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 — 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.
