Dhanush's action thriller 'Kara' is facing a considerable box office slowdown, with reports indicating a 16% decrease in collections on Monday, bringing in just over Rs 8 lakh. This figure represents the film's lowest single-day earnings on its 19th day of release.
The film, which premiered on April 30, 2026, had a strong opening week, grossing over Rs 30.26 crore, followed by Rs 6.54 crore in its second week. However, its performance has waned significantly in the third week, with weekend collections also showing a decline.
'Kara' has encountered challenges, including a box office clash with the newly released Suriya starrer 'Karuppu'. Directed by Vignesh Raja, the film is an action thriller centered on a reformed thief forced back into crime after his family's ancestral land is seized.
The movie has garnered mixed reviews from critics and audiences, with some praising its gritty narrative and Dhanush's performance, while others have expressed less enthusiasm. The film also features Mamitha Baiju, K. S. Ravikumar, Jayaram, Karunas, and Suraj Venjaramoodu.
