The Kerala Story 2 Crowned 2026’s Top ROI Earner by Koimoi as Box-Office Estimates Split After 13 Days

Built on a reported Rs 28 crore budget, early cost recovery underpins its box-office success as a tighter third week looms.

Overview

  • Koimoi reports Rs 38.34 crore net in 13 days and a 36.92% return on investment, saying the film has overtaken Border 2 to become 2026’s most profitable Bollywood release.
  • Pinkvilla’s compiled estimate pegs the India net at Rs 31.65 crore after the second Wednesday and notes its figures are approximate.
  • Sacnilk-linked tallies cited by Bollywood Life place the take higher, including roughly Rs 40.61 crore net in 12 days and about Rs 38.67 crore net by day 14, underscoring tracker variance.
  • The second week showed steady holds with a discounted-ticket Tuesday bump followed by a midweek dip, as the weekday trend cooled after a stronger weekend.
  • The film is widely viewed as a commercial ‘plus’ after reportedly recouping its ~Rs 28 crore cost early, with its theatrical window expected to shorten once Dhurandhar 2 releases.
