“The Kerala Story 2” Box Office Collection
The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond box office collection day 6: The film, which released in India last week amid a controversy and following a legal battle, has been going steady. According to Sacnilk.com, The Kerala Story 2 earned over ₹ 2 crore on Thursday.
The first chapter of the film, The Kerala Story, earned ₹ 12 crore on day six of its release, according to film trade analyst Taran Adarsh . Directed by Sudipto Sen, it released in theatres in 2023.
Legal Challenges and PIL Disposal
When the matter was taken up, the bench pointed out that petitions related to the movie were pending before a single-judge bench and a division bench, and therefore, it would not be appropriate for it to take up the PIL. Chief Justice Sen said it would be better if the division bench, which is hearing the appeal by the film’s producers, hears the instant matter.
Comparison with “The Kerala Story” Performance
However, when it noted certain remarks in the PIL, filed through advocate Chelson Chembarathy, the bench-headed by the Chief Justice was displeased and questioned how such comments were included in the petition. It criticised the petitioners and their advocate for filing such a PIL, following which advocate Chembarathy apologised unconditionally several times. The bench, thereafter, disposed of the PIL and allowed the petitioners to file a fresh plea after removing the portions which cast an aspersion on the division bench, which paved way for the movie’s release.
“The Kerala Story 2” continues its box office run despite initial controversy. The film’s steady performance and the resolution of legal challenges point to continued interest from audiences.
