The Kerala Story 2 Box Office Collection Day 6: The box office run of The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond continues to draw attention across the film industry. The controversial sequel has crossed the Rs 20 crore mark in India within six days of release. However, its performance is still far behind the success of its predecessor, which became a major HIT in 2023.
Directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah under the banner of Sunshine Pictures, the sequel has struggled to maintain the strong momentum created by the first film. Despite controversies and reduced shows in theatres, the movie is still managing to attract audiences in some cities.
The original film was directed by Sudipto Sen and went on to receive major recognition, including the National Award for Best Director. Because of that success, expectations from the sequel were naturally very high. Trade analysts are now closely watching how the film performs in the coming days.
The Kerala Story 2 Box Office Collection Day 6
According to Sacnilk, The Kerala Story 2 earned Rs 3.50 cr on Day 6 (Wednesday) at the Indian box office. This is slightly lower than its Day 5 (Tuesday) collection of Rs 4 cr. Tuesday’s earnings had jumped significantly from Monday’s collection of Rs 2.5 cr, which came after a sharp drop from Sunday. The increase on Tuesday was partly because of the Holi holiday in several parts of India.
The film opened with Rs 0.75 cr on Friday. It then saw a big jump on Saturday with Rs 4.65 cr, followed by Rs 4.75 cr on Sunday. After the fall on Monday and a slight recovery on Tuesday, the film earned Rs 3.50 cr on Wednesday. After six days in theatres, the total India net box office collection stands at Rs 20.15 cr.
The film also faced release hurdles. The Kerala High Court cleared the film for release only on Friday evening. This happened a day after the court had initially stayed the release because of the film’s controversial subject.
Even though the sequel has crossed Rs 20 crore, it remains far behind the early performance of The Kerala Story. The first film had already collected over Rs 68 crore in its first six days (240 percent more). The original movie went on to run in theatres for nearly seven weeks and finished with a domestic total of Rs 241.74 crore. Out of this, Rs 239.05 crore came from the Hindi version, while Rs 2.69 crore came from the Telugu-dubbed version.
The difference in budget also makes the comparison interesting. The Kerala Story was made on a budget of Rs 15 crore, while The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond has been produced at around Rs 30 crore. While the original film earned more than sixteen times its production cost, the sequel still needs around Rs 10 crore more just to recover its budget.
DON'T MISS
Another challenge is the reduction in shows. The film lost 350 shows on Tuesday and another 437 shows on Wednesday, leaving around 3055 shows running across India.
Occupancy has remained strongest in a few cities. Chennai recorded the highest occupancy at around 30 percent, followed by Ahmedabad at 25.75 percent, Surat at 20 percent, Bengaluru at 14.50 percent and Jaipur at 13.50 percent.

About The Sequel
Released on February 27, 2026, The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond expands the narrative beyond a single state and tells the story of three women from different parts of India. The film features Ulka Gupta, Aishwarya Ojha and Aditi Bhatia in the lead roles.
The story follows three Hindu women (Surekha, Divya and Neha) who are allegedly manipulated by men through romantic relationships and false promises. The narrative explores themes of deception, forced religious conversion and abuse. The climax includes dramatic events, such as arrests of the accused and a controversial “justice” sequence. The film ends with a strong message about resistance and awareness through a slogan – “Sahenge Nahi, Ladenge.”
Coming back to its theatrical run, the film still has some breathing space at the box office. No major releases are scheduled until Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, arrives in theatres on March 19 during Eid. Until then, the makers will be hoping that the sequel continues to collect steady numbers.
