The Kerala Story Review: The Writing Is Consistently Cringeworthy, The Acting Is No Better
Box Office India Trade Network

THE KERALA STORY was rock steady on its eight day as it collected an outstanding 11.50 crore nett which is similar to Thursday. But it would have been a surprise if the film had gone higher as it had remained rock steady on the weekdays and the weekend ticket rates came into play.

This has taken the eight day total of the film to 89 crore nett and it will cross the business of KISI KA BHAI KISI KI JAAN in nine days and TU JHOOTHI MAIN MAKKAAR in 10-11 days. Thank God for small mercies that it will not get anywhere near PATHAAN unless a miracle happens. The 200 crore nett mark is there for the film and weekdays will tell if the film can challenge THE KASHMIR FILES.

THE KERALA STORY has had issues in various states but the bottom line it is doing fantastically well wherever it is being allowed to play. The film has issues in Kerala but exhibitors are still playing and it managed to collect 36 lakhs nett in the state and will probably beat all Hindi films in Kerala post the pandemic except PATHAAN, BRAHMASTRA and '83. Mumbai is extraordinary with business of around 33 crore nett in eight days.
