# The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond Shatters Expectations on First Monday – Crossing ₹12 Crore Despite the Dip!

It expands the story to trace journeys of young women from across India, blending social drama with emotional intensity.[1][3] ### Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown (India Net) Here's how it built momentum despite a delayed start due to Kerala High Court issues: | Day | Collection (₹ Cr) | Key Notes | |-----|-------------------|-----------| | Day 1 (Fri, Feb 27) | 0.75 [3][4][7] | Limited evening shows post-clearance. | | Day 2 (Sat) | 4.25-4.65 [2][3][4][7] | Massive jump (+520% growth).[4] | | Day 3 (Sun) | 4-5 [1][3][4][6] | Weekend total hits ₹10-10.4 Cr; 13.16% Hindi occupancy.[3][6] | | Day 4 (Mon) | 2-2.5 [1][7] | Drop but steady; total ~₹12 Cr India net, ₹12 Cr worldwide.[1][8] | With a reported **budget of ₹28 Cr**, the film has recovered about **36-45%** in the opening weekend alone, outpacing films like Taapsee Pannu's *Assi* (₹8.48 Cr total).[2][4][6] While it trails the original's explosive ₹35.43 Cr weekend, its Monday hold signals word-of-mouth potential amid competition from *O'Romeo*, *Border 2*, and *Mardaani 3*.[3][4] Fans are buzzing about its bold themes – have you caught it yet?
