Last Updated:March 06, 2026, 22:14 IST Shah’s poll victory follows a tumultuous year of Gen Z-led protests that toppled the previous KP Sharma Oli-led Nepal government in September 2025 Balen Shah’s victory means India can no longer rely on back-channel negotiations with ageing patriarchs. (File photo: Facebook) In a political earthquake that has altered the landscape of the Himalayas, emerging results of the Nepal elections indicate a historic landslide victory on Friday for the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), led by its prime ministerial candidate, Balendra “Balen” Shah. Following the general elections on March 5, the RSP is currently leading in about 110 of the 165 directly elected seats, essentially decimating the “old guard” of Nepali politics. The victory follows a tumultuous year of Gen Z-led protests that toppled the previous KP Sharma Oli-led government in September 2025, signalling a total rejection of traditional establishment parties. For India, this result represents a profound shift. Balen Shah is not merely a new Prime Minister; he is the face of an assertive, technocratic, and uncompromisingly nationalistic generation that …

The sequel, also produced by Vipul Shah’s Sunshine Pictures, has managed to earn less than one-third of the first part so far, which turned out to be a sleeper hit, notwithstanding its controversies. On Wednesday (day 6) at the domestic box office, The Kerala Story 2 earned Rs 3.50 crore, a minor drop from its Tuesday (day 5) earnings of Rs 4 crore. That was a significant 60% increase from its Monday (day 4) collection of Rs 2.5 crore, thanks to the holiday on account of Holi. The film saw its most dramatic fall on Monday at 47%, from its Sunday (day 3) earnings of Rs 4.75 crore. That figure was arrived at only after a minor spike from its Saturday (day 2) collection of Rs 4.65 crore, a drastic improvement on its opening …

In 2023, the hard-hitting Kerala Story received a great response; however, the film’s second part only seems to have controversies and challenges. According to reports in Sacnilk, The Kerala Story 2 saw a spike in its collection on Tuesday. The film earned Rs 4 crores, taking the total domestic collection to Rs 16.65 crores. On 27th February, after the High Court granted permission to release the film, the makers addressed that the film was never meant to defame the state of Kerala, but to highlight the criminals there. While they hurriedly released the film, The Kerala Story 2 only managed to earn Rs 75 lakhs on its first day. On Saturday, the film earned Rs 4.65 crores, and on Sunday, it collected Rs 4.75 crores. Seeing a massive dip on Monday with earnings of just Rs 2.5 crores, the film managed …

Disappointingly for its makers, the movie has also failed the crucial first Monday test, earning just about 1/5th of what the first instalment in the franchise made on its corresponding day. On Monday, The Kerala Story 2 recorded an India nett collection of just Rs 2.65 crore, according to early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk, marking a massive 44.21 percent dip in its earnings compared to Sunday (Rs 4.75 crore). The controversial drama’s total domestic collection now stands at just Rs 12.8 crore, hinting that it may complete its first week in theatres without crossing even the Rs 20 crore mark.

3 min readKochiMar 2, 2026 09:32 AM IST The Kerala Story 2 Box Office Collection Day 3: Despite significant publicity prior to its release due to the controversies it courted, director Kamakhya Narayan Singh’s The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond, bankrolled by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, is struggling at the box office, unable to deliver a solid performance even in the absence of strong competitors. In fact, the movie’s earnings are significantly lower than those of its predecessor, which emerged as a blockbuster in 2023. On Sunday, The Kerala Story 2 recorded an India nett collection of just Rs 5 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk, marking a nominal 7.53 per cent jump in its earnings when compared to Saturday (Rs 4.65 crore). While this figure is significantly better than those recorded by its box-office contenders, such as Assi (Rs 1.6 crore), Do Deewane Seher Mein (Rs 1.45 crore), and Tu Yaa Main (Rs 80 lakh), on their respective corresponding days, it’s far lower than what The Kerala Story (2023) registered.

Similar to several films in recent times, Vipul Amrutlal Shah’s project had to approach the court after a petitioner sought a stay order on its release. On Thursday, a single-judge bench directed that the petitioner’s revision be considered by the Chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) within two weeks and granted a 15-day stay on the film. Later that evening, the producers challenged the stay order. The plea was heard by a division bench comprising Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice PV Balakrishnan, who on Friday stayed the single bench’s order, offering relief to the producers. Apparent delay in release caused confusion Amid the legal back-and-forth, there was considerable confusion regarding the film’s release.
