The Kerala Story 2 continues its steady run at the Indian box office even in its third week. Starring Ulka Gupta, Aishwarya Ojha, and Aditi Bhatia in key roles, the film is benefiting from the lack of major Hindi releases in theatres at the moment.
The film has managed to maintain a strong hold with audiences and is expected to continue performing well until Dhurandhar 2 hits theatres on March 19. Meanwhile, The Kerala Story 2 is now just a few crores away from achieving an important box office milestone.
Strong Third Weekend Boosts Collection
The film enjoyed a solid third weekend at the Indian box office. On Day 15, the movie earned around ₹1.5 crore. Collections jumped significantly on Day 16, bringing in ₹2.75 crore, which marked an impressive 83.33% growth.
The upward trend continued on Day 17, when the film collected approximately ₹3.18 crore, registering a further 15.63% increase.
Overall, The Kerala Story 2 earned about ₹7.43 crore during its third weekend, which helped the film maintain strong momentum at the box office.
Total Box Office Collection So Far
After 17 days in theatres, the film has collected an estimated ₹47.3 crore net at the Indian box office. This equals roughly ₹55.81 crore gross.
Trade estimates suggest that the film could finish its theatrical run in the range of ₹52–₹55 crore net if the current trend continues.
