The first week of March has been dominated by The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond, along with an impressive collection from Thaai Kizhavi, a Tamil comedy film. As they are gearing up for their second weekend collection, here's how both the movies have done over their first week's box office collection.
The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond
As per The Box Office India reports, The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond garnered Rs. 4.25 crore on the first Saturday of its release. This is slightly lower compared to its first part, The Kerala Story, which had then collected an opening figure of Rs. 6.75 crore. The Kerala Story 2 is at an estimate of Rs. 0.99 crores on it's 8th day collection.
Previously this week, it started off with its best collection yet on Sunday with Rs. 4.75 crore and relatively slowing down over the week. This makes up a total estimated collection of the Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond with Rs. 23.89 crore. It is significantly doing well, compared to the fact that there are no current strong competitors, making it stand firm at this week's box office collection.
The 8th day attracted the majority of the Chennai audience as it marked about 33% of the occupancy from that region. This was followed by Bengaluru at 12%, NCR at 11.50%, and Lucknow at 11% across all the major regions.
