THE KERALA STORY remained rock steady on the last day of the week with another double digit day giving it a first week total of 77.50 crore nett. The collections of the film remain higher on Thursday than Monday and that too by more than 10%.

The collections may well go up today again as there is intrigue to watch the film which is being sold as a true story and it is working big time for the film. There is also advantage of weekend ticket rates which should give a boost to collections. There are a few new releases but they are unlikely to make much difference to this film.

THE KERALA STORY is practically certain to collect over 200 crore nett and it is basically about where it will stand in the final as compared to THE KASHMIR FILES. The fact that there are far less block bookings for this film probably makes it a better performance anyway even if stays short of THE KASHMIR FILES in terms of lifetime business.

Friday -  6,75,00,000 apprx
