THE KERALA STORY is now slowing at the box office as its fifth week will probably do business in the range of 5.50 crore nett plus. The film has a phenomenal run till date and despite these dropping collections, it is still a very good fifth week.

There will be one more week to collect as when ADIPURUSH come,s there will not be much collections as the box office will be dominated by the Prabhas starrer while ZARA HATKE ZARA BACHKE will get the bulk of the remaining screens. The lifetime business will probably finish at around 222-223 crore nett.

This will make it the fifth best performer post pandemic for outright Hindi films after PATHAAN, THE KASHMIR FILES, DRISHYAM 2 and BRAHMASTRA. The fact that THE KASHMIR FILES and THE KERALA STORY  are among the top five means that there will be many more of these type of films to come. But at the end of the day it is not really cinema so there will be diminishing returns and the quicker this cinema gets out of the way the better. There is AJMER 92 awaiting a release in July and this will be about some issue involving a certain community but in a different part of the country after Kashmir and Kerala.

The collections of THE KERALA STORY  till date are as follows.

Friday - 75,00,000 apprx

Saturday -  1,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 1,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 45,00,000 apprx
