The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond was cleared for release on Friday, February 27, 2026, by the Kerala High Court's division bench. While there was confusion about the film's new release date, the makers went ahead with the actual release date, and The Kerala Story 2 has taken a low opening at the box office.
According to Sacnilk, the movie on its first day has collected approximately Rs. 75 lakh. The first instalment of the franchise had taken an opening of Rs. 8 crore. But the collection of part 2 might have been affected as it was not clear whether it would be released on Friday or not.
The Kerala Story 2 Budget
While the makers have not yet officially announced the budget of the movie, reportedly, The Kerala Story 2 is made on a budget of Rs. 28-30 crore. So, an opening of Rs. 75 lakh is surely not a good amount. The movie needs to show a jump at the box office on Saturday and Sunday to collect a decent amount in its first weekend
The Kerala Story 2 Reviews
Not many reviews of The Kerala Story 2 are out due to the confusion of the release date. However, the audience who have watched the film are sharing mixed reviews on social media. While some are calling it a must-watch, some are saying it is propaganda.
The Kerala Story 2 Controversy
Petitions were filed in the Kerala High Court against the film getting a certificate from CBFC, as petitioners alleged that it might affect the communal harmony in the state. Earlier, the HC ordered a stay on the release of The Kerala Story 2, and asked CBFC to review the film again. However, the division bench later lifted the stay on the film's release.
