“The Kerala Story 2 Holds Strong: Nears ₹20 Crore on Holi”
On 5th March 2026, The Kerala Story 2 collected around ₹3.5 crore nett at the Indian box office, taking its total to approximately ₹19.4 crore. The film saw a dip compared to its Holi boost but continues to inch closer to the ₹20 crore milestone. If the current trend continues, The Kerala Story 2 could become 2026’s second HIT after Sunny Deol’s Border 2. With no major releases until Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge on Eid, the film enjoys a clear two‑week window to strengthen its box office run.
The original film was a runaway blockbuster, opening at ₹6.75 crore and eventually amassing ₹220 crore nett. As a sequel, expectations were naturally higher, but the numbers haven’t matched that scale. Similar trends have been seen before—while some films in this space thrived in the early 2020s, the momentum has since cooled. For example, The Bengal Files fell sharply compared to The Kashmir Files. Likewise, The Kashmir Files 2 is projected to deliver a smaller outcome than the first, though still profitable relative to its budget.”
