Mumbai, June 14 - Director Sudipto Sen's drama film
The Kerala Story is nearing its end at the box office but it has done more than what was asked for. The movie has emerged as one of the biggest blockbusters of all time with its phenomenal collection.
Starring Adah Sharma, "The Kerala Story" has crossed the 300 crores mark at the global box office, and becomes only the 2nd Bollywood movie of the year to do so. It has so far grossed approx. 301 crores, including approx. 15.50 crores overseas box office in 41 days.
At the domestic box office, TKS grossed around 285.50 crores (including 3 crores of Telugu version) to date, which is the second biggest for a Bollywood movie this year after Shah Rukh Khan's "Pathaan". Post the covid-19 pandemic, TKS is 5th Bollywood film to breach the 300 crores mark at the worldwide box office.
Produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah of Sunshine Pictures, TKS is made on a budget of just 15-20 crores and it is one of the rarest Indian movies ever to gross over 300 crores with such low budget. Vivek Agnihotri's "The Kashmir Files" also did the same when it was released last year.
"The Kerala Story" follows a group of women from Kerala who are coerced into converting to Islam and joining the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). It also stars Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balani, and Siddhi Idnani in prominent roles.
