The Kerala Story Opening Day/First Friday Early Estimates

Mumbai, May 5 - Director Sudipto Sen's talk of the town drama film The Kerala Story has thrown a huge surprise at the box office with a fantastic opening in India. ## Helped by the massive controversy, "The Kerala Story" has taken more than the double opening of Vivek Agnihotri's "The Kashmir Files" which falls on similar lines. As per the early estimates, TKS scored 7-8 crores net on the opening day, which is huge for this kind of film that is made on a cheap budget. ## There are more shows being added late at night due to the huge demand and this might push the opening day collection to even higher which remains to see. Either way, "The Kerala Story" has taken one of the biggest openings of the year.## Starring Adah Sharma in the lead role, "The Kerala Story" had a decent advance booking for the opening day and looked like a 3-4 net starter. However, strong word of mouth came into play which led to solid spot booking throughout the day, resulting in a fantastic start. ## The advance booking for the remaining weekend is decent, which means a solid opening weekend is on the cards for the film.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, May 5 - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's all-time blockbuster spy action thriller Pathaan is all set to historic release in Bangladesh amid huge excitement among the fans. ## Directed by Siddharth Anand, "Pathaan" will be the first major Hindi film in many years to have secured release in the neighboring country and will be hitting theaters nationwide on May 12, according to Variety. ## Bollywood films haven't been released in Bangladesh since the country's formation in 1971, in order to protect the local film industry.

'The Kerala Story' Set For A Good Start At The Box Office

Mumbai, May 4 - Director Sudipto Sen's drama film The Kerala Story has been at the center of controversy ever since the trailer was launched. The movie is claimed to have been based on true events and follows the story of a group of women from Kerala who are converted to Islam and join the extremist Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). ## There was hardly any buzz around "The Kerala Story" a couple of weeks ago but due to the controversy, everyone is now aware of it which is proving to be advantageous as far as the box office of the film is concerned. The movie has been able to fetch a decent advance booking collection and despite being not a mainstream Bollywood flick, it has better pre-sales than films like "Kuttey" and "Gumraah" which had a bigger star cast and scale.## As of 4 AM on May 5, the pre-sales collection of "The Kerala Story" was approx. 1.25 Cr with around 60K tickets sold for the first day. As far as the opening is concerned, the movie might surprise with a 6-7 crores net start which will be a very good result considering it is not a big-budget film and has less cinematic value. ## Produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, "The Kerala Story" is along the lines of director Vivek Agnihotri's "The Kashmir Files" which turned out to be a huge blockbuster last year. TKF took the opening of around 3.50 crores, but word of mouth and controversy helped it big times as it ended up scoring over 250 crores net and over 340 crores gross at the worldwide box office. ## Stay tuned...
