Kerala Story 2 Opens on Day 1, Earns ₹3.5 Cr Despite Court Hurdles

The Kerala Story 2 – Goes Beyond hit theaters on February 27, 2026, after a last-minute legal hurdle was removed, and collected an estimated ₹3.5 crore on its opening day. Early box-office figures suggest a subdued start in Kerala, with expectations of a gradual pickup as the week unfolds. The film’s release had been stalled by a stay from the Kerala High Court, which was later lifted, clearing the path for screenings.

Meanwhile, the production team argued that delaying the release could lead to financial losses, and the court noted that the initial order appeared insufficient without viewing the full film. The lifting of the stay paves the way for continued showings and audience reactions, though the controversy surrounding the film’s content remains a talking point.

Industry observers say that while the opening numbers are modest, a stronger turnout over the weekend could buoy the film’s momentum, especially if word of mouth turns positive and more theaters join the release. Audiences continue to weigh the film’s themes and certifications, but the immediate takeaway is that the legal roadblock has been cleared and theaters are now operating normally as scheduled.
