While bigger-budgeted films struggled around it, **The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond** has been doing something quietly impressive at the box office. The sequel to the 2023 blockbuster stayed steady even on **Holi (Wednesday)**, adding another **Rs 3.50 crore** to its tally — bringing the total to **Rs 18.75 crore nett** after just six days. Not bad at all for a film with no A-list star power.

## The Kerala Story 2: The Story So Far

The opening day was a modest **Rs 0.65 crore** — a slow crawl for a sequel to a film that once collected **Rs 220 crore nett** in its full theatrical run. But that’s where the comparison to the original ends, and the film’s own story begins.

The weekend jump to **Rs 4.50–4.60 crore** on Saturday and Sunday showed there was genuine audience appetite. Monday held at Rs 2 crore, and then something interesting happened — **Tuesday spiked back to Rs 3.50 crore**, thanks to discounted ticket offers. Wednesday (Holi) held at that same level, a rare feat for any film in its first week.

The film is now expected to close its **opening week at approximately Rs 20 crore nett** — a respectable figure for a title with no conventional star value, relying purely on the IP goodwill built by the first film.

## Can It Be a Hit?

The context matters here. The original **The Kerala Story** opened to Rs 6.75 crore and ballooned into a Rs 220 crore phenomenon. *Goes Beyond* has not replicated that trajectory — but it doesn’t need to. Films in this political-narrative genre have seen declining box office curves post the early 2020s wave (The Bengal Files fell sharply after The Kashmir Files).

With **no major competition until Dhurandhar: The Revenge on Eid 2026**, the film has clear screens for at least two more weeks. If the momentum holds, it could realistically emerge as **one of 2026’s surprise hits** — potentially the second HIT of the year after *Border 2*.
