Mumbai, India — March 12, 2026
The midweek box office numbers reveal a mixed performance for films currently running in theaters. Movies such as The Kerala Story 2, O Romeo, and Assi continue their theatrical runs, but their collections indicate slowing momentum as the weeks pass.
While The Kerala Story 2 has crossed nearly two weeks in theaters, the film is still struggling to reach the ₹50-crore mark. Meanwhile, O Romeo continues to maintain a stable run, whereas Assi appears to be lagging significantly at the box office.
Here’s a detailed look at Wednesday’s box office collections.
‘The Kerala Story 2’ Sees Declining Midweek Earnings
According to data reported by entertainment tracking platform Sacnilk, The Kerala Story 2 collected ₹1.59 crore on Wednesday, reflecting a drop from ₹2.20 crore on Tuesday.
The film’s performance suggests a gradual slowdown in ticket sales, which is common during the second week of theatrical runs.
So far, The Kerala Story 2 has earned approximately ₹38.64 crore in total, meaning it has yet to cross the ₹50-crore milestone.
Despite its initial buzz, the film’s current pace indicates it may face greater competition in the coming days.
‘Assi’ Continues to Struggle at the Box Office
Among the three films currently in theaters, Assi appears to be the lowest performer.
The movie has been running for more than two weeks, but its box office numbers remain modest.
According to Sacnilk data:
-
Day 20 collection: ₹10 lakh
-
Day 19 collection: ₹12 lakh
With these figures, Assi’s total box office collection has reached about ₹10.80 crore so far.
The film’s declining daily earnings suggest that it may soon exit many theaters as new releases arrive.
‘O Romeo’ Maintains Steady Performance
While its daily earnings have slowed, O Romeo has managed to stay relatively stable at the box office.
The film has now been in theaters for 27 days, and it continues to attract a moderate number of viewers.
On Wednesday:
-
Wednesday collection: ₹27 lakh
-
Tuesday collection: ₹41 lakh
Despite the decline, the movie still maintains a consistent presence in cinemas.
So far, O Romeo has earned a total of ₹71.02 crore, though it has not yet crossed the ₹100-crore mark.
New Competition Arriving With ‘Dhurandhar 2’
The coming days may become more challenging for these films as a new release is set to arrive this Friday.
The upcoming film Dhurandhar 2 has already generated significant buzz among audiences, particularly after the release of its trailer.
Industry observers believe that the new release could impact the box office performance of currently running films, potentially reducing their screen counts.
As theaters prepare for the next weekend, it remains to be seen how these films will perform against fresh competition.
