 "The 'Kerala Story 2' Box Office Collection Day 5: Film recovers on Holi, nears Rs. 17 cr mark")
The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond registered a respectable Rs. 4 crore on Day 5 (Tuesday), with a healthy 60 % growth compared with Monday, as audiences turned out during the Holi holiday. The film’s cumulative total after five days now stands at ₹16.65 crore.
Day-wise collection of the film so far
Here’s a clear look at the unit-wise journey so far:
Day 1 (Fri)- Rs. 0.75 crore
Day 2 (Sat)- Rs. 4.65 crore
Day 3 (Sun)- Rs. 4.75 crore
Day 4 (Mon)- Rs. 2.50 crore
Day 5 (Tue)- Rs. 4.00 crore
Total- Rs. 16.65 crore
Weekend strength followed by weekday dip
The film opened modestly on Friday at Rs 0.75 crore, which was mainly due to a stay in the release of the film that was lifted later in the afternoon. It performed well on Saturday and Sunday (Rs. 4.65 cr and Rs. 4.75 cr respectively, buoyed by holiday and weekend footfalls. A typical weekday slowdown followed on Monday (Rs. 2.50 cr), but the return of holiday audiences on Holi fuelled a solid rebound on Day 5.
Surpassing Rs. 16 crore despite midweek challenges
While The Kerala Story 2 hasn’t matched the roaring opening of its prequel, consistent weekend growth and a strong holiday uptick have helped it approximate the Rs. 17 crore mark within its first five days.
It is to be noted that films with controversial themes often see volatile patterns during weekdays, with holidays like Holi providing much-needed momentum.
What to watch for next
With the extended weekend and ongoing festive mood, the film will look to maintain steady collections into Day 6 and beyond. Strong retention in Tier-2 and Tier-3 centres could help it inch closer to higher weekend totals, even if weekday dips are expected.
With the fact that there is no big release on Friday, one can expect the film to surpass the Rs. 25 crore mark by the second weekend with ease. Made with a budget of Rs 30 crore, the film is all poised to recover its budget with its box office collection alone.
