Dhurandhar 2 Storm Crushes Kerala Story 2 Box Office
19 Mar
Summary
- Dhurandhar 2 release significantly impacted The Kerala Story 2 collections.
- The Kerala Story 2 needs 5.34 crore more for a hit verdict.
- Dhurandhar 2's paid previews reduced shows for other films.

The Kerala Story 2's box office performance has encountered a significant setback following the release of Dhurandhar 2. The film, starring Ulka Gupta, Aishwarya Ojha, and Aditi Bhatia, experienced a noticeable dent in its collections.
The arrival of Dhurandhar 2, featuring Ranveer Singh, with its extensive paid previews showing over 12,000 times, directly reduced the available showtimes for other films, including The Kerala Story 2. This reduction was especially pronounced in the Hindi market.
The impact on The Kerala Story 2's earnings was substantial, with collections dropping by more than 50%. To be considered a hit, the film must achieve a net collection of 56 crore, representing 100% returns on investment.
Currently, The Kerala Story 2 is still in need of 5.34 crore to reach this target. However, with the strong competition from Dhurandhar 2, securing this amount seems increasingly unlikely, potentially preventing it from becoming the first Bollywood hit of 2026.
