The Kerala Story Box Office Collection Day 29: Adah Sharma's movie "The Kerala Story" has successfully surpassed the Rs 200 crore milestone at the box office. Despite facing multiple controversies after its release on May 5, the film has managed to join the prestigious Rs 200 crore club. However, on its 29th day in theatres, it appears that the film is facing difficulties in drawing audiences to the cinema halls.
Overall, the film has been performing moderately well at the box office. On June 2, The Kerala Story recorded its lowest collection of Rs 1 crore since its release. However, on June 3, the film, as per Sachnilk, is expected to regain momentum, likely due to the weekend, and earn Rs 2 crore at the box office. With this, the total collection of the film now stands at Rs 232.72 crore.

Under the direction of Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the film garnered criticism right from the release of its trailer. Initially, the movie asserted that 32,000 women from Kerala were forced to convert and join the terrorist group Islamic State (ISIS). However, amid the controversies surrounding the film, the number was subsequently revised to three.
The movie encountered a shadow ban in Tamil Nadu, and the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, additionally prohibited its screening in the state.
