The Kerala Story 2 Box Office Collection Day 18: Vipul Shah’s Film Nears ₹50 Crore Mark with Steady Third Week Run

The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond continues to hold its ground at the box office as it enters its third week in theatres. Despite new competition and moderate occupancy, the film has maintained a consistent run and is now inching closer to the ₹50 crore mark.

According to trade estimates, the film earned approximately ₹1.06 crore on Day 18, which marked its third Monday in cinemas. With this, its total net collection in India has reached around ₹48.86 crore. On the global front, the film’s worldwide gross stands close to ₹57 crore.

Steady Growth in Week 3

The film had already collected around ₹40 crore by the end of its second week, and its continued stability in the third week highlights a sustained audience interest. While the growth may not be explosive, the consistent daily earnings are helping the film move steadily towards the ₹50 crore milestone.

Comparison with the First Film

Although The Kerala Story 2 has performed decently, it has not been able to replicate the massive success of its predecessor, The Kerala Story. The original film turned out to be a blockbuster and reportedly crossed ₹300 crore worldwide, setting a very high benchmark for the sequel.

Occupancy and Upcoming Challenges

On its 18th day, the film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of approximately 9.4% in theatres. While this indicates a stable run, trade experts believe that the collections may face a dip in the coming days.

The primary reason is the arrival of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which is expected to dominate screens and attract a significant share of the audience, potentially impacting the film’s box office momentum.

About the Film

Directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond explores the journey of three young women from different parts of India.

The story revolves around their decision to leave behind their families and traditions in pursuit of love and a better life. However, their journey takes a dark turn as they encounter a world filled with control, silence, and restrictions. As their freedom is threatened, the women struggle to reclaim their independence.

The film stars Ulka Gupta, Aditi Bhatia, Aishwarya Ojha, Sumit Gahlawat, and Arjan Singh Aujla in key roles.

Released in theatres on February 27, 2026, the film hit screens after clearance from the Kerala High Court, which had earlier delayed its release.

Conclusion

With ₹48.86 crore already in its kitty, The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond is just a step away from the ₹50 crore milestone. However, with strong competition entering theatres, its ability to sustain momentum in the coming days will be crucial in determining its final box office outcome.
