'The Kerala Story' Box office Day 2: Adah Sharma's controversial film sees an enormous growth

Director Sudipto Sen’s controversial film 'The Kerala Story', which was released in theatres on Friday, has shown an enormous growth compared to its first day. The film saw a growth of almost 40 percent as it minted Rs 11.22 crore on Saturday. This brings the total to Rs 19.25 crore.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, '#TheKeralaStory is SENSATIONAL, sets the #BO on on Day 2… Shows BIGGG GAINS across all circuits… Hits double digits, a REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT for a film that’s *not* riding on stardom, but word of mouth… Fri 8.03 cr, Sat 11.22 cr. Total: ₹ 19.25 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice Growth / Decline… Sat: [growth] 39.73%.'
The Adah Sharma starrer was criticised for alleged factual inaccuracies and even received poor reviews by critics, but the numbers definitely have a different tale to tell.
'The Kerala Story' is the second big hit of 2023 after Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Pathaan'.
