The Kerala Story 2 Crosses ₹29 Cr on Day 9

The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond continued its steady performance at the domestic box office on its second Saturday, collecting an estimated ₹3.85 crore (Hindi: ₹3.75 crore, Telugu: ₹0.10 crore) on Day 9. This brings the film’s 9-day India net total to ₹29.50 crore, reflecting a modest but consistent hold in its second weekend.

The sequel opened to a subdued ₹0.75 crore on its first Friday but saw a sharp 520% jump on Saturday, followed by a strong Sunday of ₹4.75 crore. Weekday numbers showed typical fluctuations, with a notable 60% rise on Tuesday before settling into a mid-range hold. The first week concluded with ₹22.9 crore net, and the second Friday matched the previous Thursday at ₹2.75 crore. Saturday’s 40% growth over Friday indicates weekend audience support, though overall momentum remains moderate compared to major blockbusters.

Day-wise India net collections (approximate, in ₹ crore):

• Day 1 (Friday): 0.75
• Day 2 (Saturday): 4.65
• Day 3 (Sunday): 4.75
• Day 4 (Monday): 2.50
• Day 5 (Tuesday): 4.00
• Day 6 (Wednesday): 3.50
• Day 7 (Thursday): 2.75
• Week 1 Total: 22.90
• Day 8 (2nd Friday): 2.75
• Day 9 (2nd Saturday): 3.85
• 9-Day Total India Net: 29.50

The 9-day India gross stands at approximately ₹34.80 crore. Worldwide and overseas figures remain unavailable in detailed breakdowns at this stage.

Hindi occupancy on Saturday, March 7, 2026, averaged 15.13% across shows. Night shows recorded the highest footfall at 23.44%, followed by evening (14.82%), afternoon (14.24%), and morning (8.03%). The pattern suggests family and evening audiences are driving most of the attendance, while morning slots continue to lag — a common trend for mid-budget dramatic films in their second week.

Directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and produced by Sunshine Pictures, The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond stars Ulka Gupta, Aditi Bhatia, Aishwarya Ojha, Sumit Gahlawat, and Arjan Singh Aujla in prominent roles. Marketed as a continuation of the first film’s narrative style, the sequel has maintained a niche but loyal viewership base, particularly in Hindi-speaking circuits.

While the collections are significantly lower than the original The Kerala Story (which had crossed ₹100 crore domestically), the sequel has shown resilience with minimal drops on weekdays and a healthy Saturday bump. Industry observers note that second-weekend growth of 40% is respectable for a film that opened to limited buzz and is competing against newer releases and ongoing major titles.

Box office figures are compiled from trade estimates, exhibitor reports, and online tracking platforms. As with all early collections, final audited numbers may vary slightly. The film’s performance trajectory will depend on sustained word-of-mouth, regional contributions (especially Telugu), and competition in the coming weeks.

For now, The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond remains a steady mid-tier performer, appealing to audiences drawn to its thematic continuity while navigating the challenges of sequel fatigue and a crowded theatrical landscape.
