The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond continued its theatrical run with a noticeable slowdown on its fourth day, collecting an estimated ₹2.65 crore net in India. This marked a significant drop from the strong weekend performance, reflecting the typical Monday trend for most releases amid mixed reviews and limited buzz in urban centres.
Early estimates for Day 5 (Tuesday) indicate a further decline, with the film expected to earn around ₹1.85 crore net. While the drop aligns with weekday patterns, the overall five-day total remains respectable given the delayed and restricted opening due to legal hurdles. Trade analysts note steady occupancy in key northern markets but softer response in the south.
The sequel has shown resilience despite not matching the explosive growth of its 2023 predecessor. With no major competition in the Hindi belt this week, the film could stabilise if positive word-of-mouth builds, though sustained performance will depend on how well it holds through the midweek.

About The Kerala Story 2 and Future Prediction
The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond, directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah under Sunshine Pictures, serves as a direct sequel to the 2023 hit. The film follows three young women across different Indian states who challenge family norms for love, only to face manipulation and restricted freedom. It stars Ulka Gupta, Aditi Bhatia, and Aishwarya Ojha in lead roles and explores themes of control, rebellion, and resilience in a dramatic narrative that has sparked discussion since its teaser launch.
Early audience feedback remains mixed, with praise for the lead performances but criticism over pacing and narrative depth compared to the original. The film faced a last-minute court clearance before release on 27 February 2026, which affected its opening day shows in certain regions. Despite this, strong Saturday and Sunday collections helped it cross the ₹10 crore mark quickly.
Looking ahead, the film is predicted to see further weekday softening but could recover modestly over the weekend if it maintains decent occupancy in mass markets. Analysts expect a lifetime India net of ₹25-30 crore if the current trend holds, positioning it as a moderate performer rather than a blockbuster like its predecessor. Strong holds in northern circuits and potential positive word-of-mouth will be key to its long-term prospects.
