The Kerala Story 2 box office collection Day 3: The film crosses Rs. 10 crore in its opening weekend despite mixed reviews. Check detailed day-wise earnings and analysis.
The Kerala Story 2 has shown steady growth at the domestic box office over its opening weekend, crossing the Rs. 10 crore mark by the end of Day 3, despite receiving mixed reviews from critics and audiences.
According to early estimates from industry tracking website Sacnilk, the Vipul Amrutlal Shah-backed sequel witnessed a slight jump in collections on Sunday, benefitting from weekend footfalls and increased occupancy across multiplexes and single screens. While weekday trends will determine its long-term performance, the film’s opening trajectory suggests cautious optimism.
_The Kerala Story 2_ Day-Wise Box Office Collection (India Net):
– Day 1: Rs. 0.75 crore (due to
delayed release and cancelled morning and afternoon shows)
– Day 3: Rs. 5 crore
– Total: Rs. 10.40 crore (approx.)
Weekend Growth Despite Lukewarm Response
The film’s Day 3 surge helped it comfortably cross the Rs. 10 crore milestone within its first weekend. While the opening day numbers remained modest, positive traction over Saturday and Sunday ensured a respectable total, particularly for a content-driven political drama.
With that, the film has already surpassed the collection of Taapsee Pannu-starrer ‘Assi’, which has minted Rs 10 crore in 10 days.
Sunday’s improved performance can be attributed to higher occupancy rates, especially in urban centres, as well as continued public curiosity surrounding the sequel. However, industry experts suggest that strong weekday collections will be crucial for the film to maintain momentum.
Collections Still Trail Behind Part 1’s Record Run
Despite the encouraging weekend total,
_The Kerala Story 2_ is currently trailing behind the box office pace of its predecessor, which had witnessed a far stronger opening and sustained run. Trade analysts note that the sequel will need consistent weekday collections and positive word-of-mouth to narrow the gap.
The film’s performance over the coming weekdays is expected to offer a clearer picture of its long-term theatrical prospects. Mounted on a budget of Rs 30 crore, the film might just be able to recover it from its theatrical run alone.
