The movie ‘The Kerala Story 2’, which was released amidst significant controversy due to its "Love Jihad" storyline, is now a major talking point at the box office. While the film earned only 75 lakhs on its opening day, it grabbed the audience's attention with a massive surge in collections on Saturday and Sunday.

Controversies and Legal Hurdles

Despite the surrounding controversies, ‘The Kerala Story 2’ has been released nationwide. Based on the theme of "Love Jihad," the film sparked intense debate even before its premiere. Several organizations and individuals approached the court against the film. Initially, the Kerala High Court had placed a temporary stay on its release. However, upon a re-hearing, the court lifted the stay and granted permission for the film to hit theaters.Arayna Women's Cotton Printed Floral Straight Kurta with Palazzo Pants and Dupatta

Box Office Performance

The film was released on Friday. On its first day, it earned only 75 lakh rupees, leading many to believe the film was off to a slow start. However, it received an excellent response over the weekend. On Saturday, the movie collected approximately 4.65 crore rupees. On Sunday, the upward trend continued with a collection of about 5 crore rupees, showing strong growth at the box office.

Cast and Crew

‘The Kerala Story 2’ stars Ulka Gupta, Aditi Bhatia, and Aishwarya Ojha in lead roles. The film is directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah. The narrative reportedly depicts events related to "Love Jihad."

Background

The previously released movie ‘The Kerala Story’ had also caused a massive stir. That film portrayed the story of Hindu women being converted and recruited into extremist organizations. Following that same path, ‘The Kerala Story 2’ has now become a subject of intense discussion.

While the opening day saw low numbers, the weekend response has been positive. It remains to be seen how much the film will ultimately earn at the box office in the coming days.
