"It is a huge performance because the collections are much higher than those of recent mainstream films like Bhediya, Cirkus, and Shehzada, which had some face value." The film is controversial and depicts obvious hatred against a group in a level that has not been seen in Indian cinema before, and this has essentially become the film's selling point. The Kerala Story is identical to The Kashmir Files, but its opening weekend is double that of that film, and it is a box office smash on day one. "Now we'll see where it goes," stated Box Office India.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 allegedly did a good business of roughly Rs 7 crore nett, although this is due to bookings requiring stronger first-day receipts. Despite identical collections, The Kerala Story will have 60-70% greater footfall.

About The Kerala Story: 
The Kerala Story is about Hindu women from Kerala who converted to Islam and were sold to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The film debuted to controversy and mediocre reviews. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has endorsed the film. It will be interesting to see whether The Kerala Story can match The Kashmir Files' box office success.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 is the last instalment of the three-part saga, and it has done well overseas. According to Deadline, the picture is predicted to gross $110 million in its first weekend in the United States.
