The Kerala Story 2 Box Office Collection Day 4: The Kerala Story 2 is struggling at the box office. The sequel, backed by producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah, has failed the crucial Monday test. The film has witnessed a sharp drop in collections, raising concerns about its long-term run.
The drop becomes more striking when compared to its predecessor, The Kerala Story. On its first Monday in 2023, the original film had collected Rs 10.07 crore. That means the sequel has earned nearly 73% less than the first instalment on the same day.

According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the film earned just Rs 2.65 crore nett in India on Day 4 (Monday). This marks a steep 44.21 per cent fall from Sunday’s Rs 4.75 crore. With this, the total domestic collection stands at Rs 12.8 crore. At this pace, the film may not even cross Rs 20 crore in its first week.
The numbers reflect weak audience turnout. On Monday, the overall occupancy stood at only 8.75 percent. Morning shows opened at 6.29 per cent. The figure rose slightly to 8.65 per cent in the afternoon. However, it dipped again to 7.45 percent in the evening before improving to 12.61 per cent during night shows.
DON'T MISS
Despite heavy publicity and pre-release debate, the film has not crossed the Rs 5 crore mark on any single day so far. Even without major competition at the box office, it is struggling to maintain momentum.
The original 2023 film was made on a reported budget of Rs 15 crore and went on to gross Rs 302 crore worldwide. In contrast, the sequel has a reported budget of Rs 28 crore and has grossed only Rs 15.1 crore globally until now. The gap between expectations and reality is hard to ignore.
That controversy helped fuel curiosity around the first film. However, the same strategy does not appear to be delivering results this time. While the 2023 film turned criticism into commercial success, the sequel seems unable to replicate that formula.
