Three years after the release of the 2023 superhit crime drama "The Kerala Story," Vipul Shah brings the sequel, "The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond."

Like the first film, "The Kerala Story 2" was met with considerable controversy. The matter reached court, and the court stayed the film's release. However, the film somehow managed to reach theaters amidst the controversy.

Now that "The Kerala Story 2" has arrived in theaters, let's share the film's opening figures.

Overwhelmingly Overshadowed by "Border 2" and "O Romeo"
Released in theaters on February 27th, "The Kerala Story 2" did not clash with any Bollywood film. However, Shahid Kapoor's "O' Romeo" and Sunny Deol's "Border 2" are already dominating the box office. However, "The Kerala Story 2" has surpassed both these older films.

First Day Collection of "The Kerala Story 2"
Despite the controversies, "The Kerala Story 2" has generated good collections on its first day. According to early trade reports from SacNilk, "The Kerala Story 2," directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh, grossed ₹3.5 crore (₹3.5 crore) at the domestic box office on its first day. The film's gross collection stands at ₹4.15 crore (₹4.15 crore).

Border 2, which has been in theaters for over a month, has collected around ₹1.7 million (₹1.7 million) last Friday. Meanwhile, "O Romeo"'s 15th-day collection was ₹1.15 crore (₹1.15 crore).

Why is "The Kerala Story 2" sparking controversy?
The story of "The Kerala Story 2," produced by Vipul Shah, is based on the theme of forced religious conversion. The film depicts how innocent girls are lured into love affairs by being forced to convert to Islam and fed beef.

Some scenes in the film were deemed inflammatory, and the matter reached the court. The court initially banned the film's release, but the ban was lifted the next day.
