Kaantha, starring Dulquer Salmaan, P Samuthirakani, Bhagyashri Borse, and Rana Daggubati in key roles, had a decent run during the opening weekend, giving a sort of start. However, on weekdays, it has been making ordinary earnings, thus creating a dicey situation for the film. While there was an upward trend on the first Tuesday, day 5, the overall collection at the Indian box office has been slightly underwhelming so far. Keep reading for a detailed report!
The Tamil mystery drama thriller opened to mostly favorable reviews from critics, and the word of mouth among the ticket-buying audience has been decent. However, there’s a lack of urgency about the film, which is why it is missing the required pace. Considering the budget, the thriller needed a good pace on weekdays, which hasn’t been witnessed so far.
How much did Kaantha earn at the Indian box office in 5 days?
Coming to the latest collection update, Kaantha raked in 1.97 crores on its first Tuesday, day 5. Compared to day 4’s 1.8 crores, it is a growth of 9.44%. Overall, the film has earned an estimated 17.62 crore net at the Indian box office, as per Sacnilk. Adjusting for GST, the gross total stands at 20.79 crores.
Day-wise collection breakdown:
- Day 1 – 4.35 crores
- Day 2 – 5 crores
- Day 3 – 4.5 crores
- Day 4 – 1.8 crores
- Day 5 – 1.97 crores
Total – 17.62 crores
Kaantha in trouble?
Reportedly, Kaantha was made on a budget of 40 crores. Against this cost, it needs 40 crore net collection to enter the safe zone and avoid being a failure. In the first 5 days, it has recovered 44.05% of the budget, which looks good, but considering the ordinary pace of the film on weekdays, it’s not enough to reach its target of 40 crore net collection at the Indian box office.
To make a turnaround and enter the safe zone, the Kollywood thriller must do well during the second weekend. Let’s see how things proceed for the Dulquer Salmaan starrer.
