The Kerala Story First Saturday/Second Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, May 6 - The Kerala Story records fantastic growth on its second day as collection jumped by around 55%. This sort of growth was always on the card after the movie managed to attract super-positive reviews and word of mouth.

The collection of The Kerala Story is strong all over, largely thanks to its controversial subject which is attracting audiences to the cinemas. Going by the early estimates, TKS has scored around 12.50 crores net on its second day/first Saturday.



Directed by Sudipto Sen, The Kerala Story is very much like Vivek Agnihotri's The Kashmir Files which created a sensation last year. TKF was also supported by the controversy which helped the film to post over 300 crores in collection worldwide.

The Kerala Story, however, had more than double opening of The Kashmir Files which scored 27+ crores on opening weekend. The opening of the film was strong enough with 8+ crores net and positive word of mouth has ensured that TKS is going to enjoy a very good opening weekend.

The total net collection of the movie stands at around 20.5 crores after two days and the weekend is looking to be around 37.00 crores which is an excellent number for a low-budget flick. TKS has already turned into a hit for the makers and now, it is all about where it lands as far as the lifetime box office is concerned. It will be interesting to see how the movie fares on Monday and the remaining weekdays.
