As per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, The Kerala Story collected Rs 8.03 crore on Friday, Rs 11.22 crore on Saturday, and Rs 16 crore on Sunday. Meanwhile, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 reportedly collected Rs 7.30 crore on the opening day in India, but fell behind The Kerala Story over Saturday and Sunday.
