The Kerala Story has been having an extraordinary run at the box office with double-digit scores being hit all over again. This small movie has surpassed expectations and has even outperformed big-budget films that are currently struggling to achieve 30 crore lifetimes. Despite having earned 45.72 crores already, it is important to note that these box office numbers are based on estimates and various sources, and have not been independently verified by ‘The Filmy Charcha.’
On Friday, The Kerala Story collected 8.03 crores, but instead of taking a marginal drop, it saw a good jump in numbers with 10.07 crores being accumulated. This is an unprecedented achievement for a small movie that only requires a 30 crore lifetime to be classified as a superhit. The film has already achieved this and is setting newer benchmarks with every passing day.
The film may not have a first week as high as The Kashmir Files, which had a near 100 crore week since day by day growth was phenomenal, but it is off to a superb start. The Kashmir Files had started at lower levels, but its sustained growth led to it achieving this phenomenal feat. In comparison, The Kerala Story had a strong start and is expected to have a good sustained run.
It is essential to mention that box office numbers are based on estimates and various sources, and have not been independently verified by The Filmy Charcha.
It is important to acknowledge that The Kerala Story’s performance at the box office is truly unbelievable. Even during the pandemic, this small movie is bringing in such high numbers that it is difficult to ignore its success. With the collection of 45.72 crores, The Kerala Story is undoubtedly a bonafide superhit.
