Kerala Story 2 Released After Court Stay Lifted Amid Protests and Modest Box Office

The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond, a sequel exploring alleged forced religious conversions, faced legal hurdles and protests ahead of its release. The Kerala High Court lifted a 15-day stay, allowing screenings nationwide, but protests by groups like DYFI in Kerala led to cancellations and low attendance. Despite controversy and threats to theatre owners, the film saw modest box office collections, with a slow start followed by growth on the second day. Filmmakers maintain the film is based on real incidents and does not malign Kerala or its people.
