The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond Crosses ₹30 Crore in 12 Days — A Quiet but Commendable Box Office Journey

No big star. No massive opening. Yet The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond is quietly holding its own at the box office — and that says something. In a season dominated by big-budget spectacles, this no-frills sequel has crossed the ₹30 crore nett mark in just 12 days, and even pulled off a surprise spike on its second Tuesday. Let’s break it all down.

The Kerala Story 2 — Box Office Collections (India Nett)

Note: Figures are estimates compiled from various trade sources.

What’s Driving the Numbers?

The 2nd Tuesday jump of 30% was triggered by discounted ticket pricing — a strategy that is becoming increasingly common for mid-budget films trying to sustain footfalls in week two. While the drop from the first Tuesday (Week 1 Tuesday collected ₹3.50 cr) is still around 52%, the upward nudge on a typically flat weekday is encouraging.

With one free week remaining before the release of Dhurandhar 2, the film is projected to close its full theatrical run at approximately ₹40 crore nett.

How Does It Compare to the Original?

The Kerala Story film series began with the 2023 original, which became a massive blockbuster — opening at ₹6.75 crore and eventually collecting over ₹220 crore nett in its full theatrical run. The sequel, a no-face-value film without established stars, is clearly operating in a different league altogether.

But context matters. Films in this socially driven narrative genre have seen a general box office softening since the early 2020s — The Bengal Files, for instance, saw a similar pattern of significant audience drop compared to its predecessor, The Kashmir Files. In that broader context, ₹40 crore for a star-free sequel is a respectable outcome.
