The Kerala Story 2 Box Office Collection Day 2 Early Updates: Nearly three years after the release of The Kerala Story (2023), the franchise returns with its sequel, The Kerala Story 2. Directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, who also backed the first film, the sequel has been mired in controversy even before hitting theaters. Originally slated for a February 27 release, the film faced legal hurdles when petitions were filed in the Kerala High Court challenging its CBFC certification. Petitioners claimed the film could disturb communal harmony, prompting the HC to initially stay its release and direct a fresh review by the CBFC.
The division bench later lifted the stay, allowing The Kerala Story 2 to release in cinemas despite ongoing debates labeling it as “propaganda” against the Muslim community.

Starring Aditi Bhatia, Ulka Gupta and Aishwarya Ojha among others, The Kerala Story 2 had a poor start at the box office with an opening day collection of Rs 75 lakhs only, as reported by Sacnilk.
