Kattalan Box Office Bomb: Antony Varghese Film Crashes
1 Jun
Summary
- Kattalan experienced a shocking 75% drop in box office revenue on Sunday.
- The film earned only 93 lakh on its fourth day against an opening of 3.8 crore.
- With a budget of 30-35 crore, Kattalan has recovered only 22-25% of its cost.
Antony Varghese's much-anticipated action film, Kattalan, has suffered a dramatic downturn at the box office. The movie experienced an alarming 75% decrease in revenue on Sunday, May 31, a highly unusual trend for any film, especially on a weekend. This sharp decline has left industry observers surprised and concerned about the film's commercial prospects.
Kattalan's performance on its fourth day, Sunday, May 31, was particularly disappointing, with earnings falling to just 93 lakh. This is a significant drop from its opening day on Thursday, which garnered 3.8 crore. The film failed to show any positive momentum throughout the weekend, with Saturday's collections dipping below Friday's and Sunday's revenue collapsing below the 1 crore mark.
The film, reportedly produced with a budget of 30-35 crore, has only managed to recover between 22-25% of its production costs within its first four days. Given the low recovery rate at the end of its extended opening weekend, Kattalan faces a considerable financial deficit. Projections for the upcoming weekdays suggest even lower daily earnings, making it exceedingly difficult for the film to recoup its budget.
Directed by Paul George, Kattalan is described as a fierce story of control, vengeance, and survival within the backdrop of a cartel war. The film boasts a high IMDb rating of 8.7.
