Adah Sharma starrer film ‘The Kerala Story’ has had a smashing opening weekend at the box office, despite facing backlash from opposition political parties and some communities. 

Directed by Sudipto Sen, the film stars Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani, and Sonia Balani. The film’s collection stood at almost ₹20 crore on its first two days and raked in a massive ₹16.50 crore on Sunday, bringing the total collection to Rs 35.75 crore.
