The political drama The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond, directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh, continues to show a steady performance at the Indian box office. The film collected around ₹1.25 crore on its second Wednesday, pushing its total domestic earnings to approximately ₹31.65 crore after 13 days.
Featuring Ulka Gupta, Aishwarya Ojha, and Aditi Bhatia in key roles, the film is expected to close its 14-day run near ₹33 crore.
Third week may be impacted by a major release
The film’s third week in theatres is expected to be shorter, as the big-budget action sequel Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge arrives in cinemas on Wednesday evening.
Before the new release affects screen counts, The Kerala Story 2 is likely to push its total collections toward the ₹40 crore nett mark.
Comparison with the first film
While the sequel is performing decently, its box office numbers remain significantly lower than the original The Kerala Story.
The first film opened with ₹6.75 crore and eventually became a major blockbuster, collecting around ₹220 crore nett during its theatrical run.
Several films with similar themes achieved strong box office success in the early 2020s. However, industry trends suggest that the genre has seen a decline in momentum in recent years.

A respectable performance for a small-budget film

Its steady collections in the second week indicate continued audience interest, though upcoming releases may affect its theatrical momentum.
