The Kerala Story 2 Mints Over Rs 10 Cr on Day 4 Despite Significant Controversy And Ban on its Release

Vipul Shah’s The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond sparked significant controversy since the release of its trailer. After triumphing over the hurdles and a ban imposed by the Kerala High Court, the Indian Hindi-language drama collected a total gross of Rs 12.36 crore and a total net of Rs 10.41 crore, running across 13,878 shows. For the unversed, the film acquired a green signal from the Kerala High Court on the evening of February 27, the day of its release. 

Activists of the Democratic Youth Federation of India alleged that the film shows the state in a negative light and protested against it. There were also reports of shows being cancelled in some theatres in Kochi, Kozhikode, and Kottayam. Though the ban hampered its success on the first day, its collection jumped significantly over the weekend. Here’s a closer look at its box office numbers.

The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond revolves around three girls who are lured into love by three boys and forced to convert to another religion. The film features Ulka Gupta, Aditi Bhatia, and Aishwarya Ojha in lead roles, along with Arjan Singh Aujla and Sumit Gehlawat. Helmed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh, the film tackles the sensitive issue of religious conversion and social pressure.

Bankrolled by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the film witnessed a steady growth at the domestic box office over its opening weekend, crossing the Rs. 10 crore mark by the end of Day 3. On the first day of its release, it grossed Rs 88 lakh. On day 2, the film raked in Rs 5.53 crore. On the third day, it earned Rs 5.95 crore, taking its total cume to Rs 12.36 crore. On Sunday, the film’s Hindi occupancy averaged 13.08 percent.

On Monday, day 4, as of 10 am, the film already minted Rs 1 Lakh. As days unfold, the film is expected to perform well, escalating its overall gross collection. Due to the delay in receiving approval for release, the film was released on Friday evening, which affected its earnings, but it seems that the weekend has shown its magic.
