The Kerala Story box office collection Day 4: The Kerala Story, by director Sudipto Sen, was not on the radar just before its theatrical release. On Sunday, May 7, the film made the highest collection in the history of nearly 16 crores. On Monday the movie was down a bit, but it still managed to pull in double digits. The Bengal government has just banned the movie ‘Kerala Story’, which is adding to the controversy.
Box office collection
On May 5th, The Kerala story made its way to screens around the world. The film’s critics and audiences alike were reacting to the movie in a polarised way. The Kerala Story has recorded its highest amount of revenue for the year, which stands at 16.50 crore, as of May 7.
On May 8, the film witnessed a slight drop in collections but still minted Rs 10.50 crore (nett) at the box office in India. That’s a total collection of Rs 45.75 crores in four days. The film will surpass the Rs 50 crore mark today, May 9.

About the film
According to reports, the central character of The Kerala Story is an innocent Hindu woman from Kerala who is misled and converted by Islamic companions. Later, she gets transferred to the ISIS terrorist group. Everyone was surprised, though, to learn that the movie is based on actual events in which some 32,000 Keralan women fell victim to this risky ruse.
Even when the trailer debuted, the movie was being scanned. Following this, there have been an increase in resentment and demonstrations calling for the film’s ban. The trailer for the movie, however, now refers to the current stories of three women rather than the “story of 32,000 women.” That spurred additional discussion.
