Despite controversies, 'The Kerala Story 2' is performing reasonably well in theaters, managing a total collection of around 23 crore in its first week.
The film 'The Kerala Story 2' has made its debut in theaters amidst a backdrop of controversies and legal challenges, achieving a reasonable audience turnout despite initial uncertainties surrounding its release. The film's release was confirmed within half a day, and it has completed a week in theaters. While the prequel was noted for its blockbuster performance, the sequel has only managed to collect a quarter of its predecessor's earnings. The question arises whether this film might be deemed a flop in comparison to the first
On its first day, 'The Kerala Story 2' faced a confusing release situation, grossing less than a crore. However, the cumulative collection over the weekend rose impressively to over 10 crore. Given its controversies, negative reviews, and limited screen availability, this figure is viewed as solid within industry standards. During the weekdays, the film maintained a steady collection of between 3 to 4 crore daily, reflecting a consistent audience interest despite challenges.
As per trade reports, by Thursday, the total collection for the film reached close to 23 crore after its first week. This performance raises discussions about its success despite falling short of the financial benchmarks set by its prequel, leaving analysts to ponder whether its box office performance will classify it as successful or a failure in the competitive film landscape.
