Summary
- Kishkindhapuri sees 300% jump on 3rd Friday

- Likely to end its run with an 8 crore loss
As of September 27th, 2025, the Telugu horror thriller Kishkindhapuri, directed by Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, has seen a remarkable surge in its box office performance. The film witnessed a bright jump of almost 300% on its third Friday, earning 4 lakh on that day compared to just 1 lakh the previous day.
However, despite this impressive jump, Kishkindhapuri is heading towards losses at the box office. After 15 days, the film has managed to collect a total net of 16.62 crore in India and a gross of 22.76 crore worldwide, including 3.15 crore from overseas markets. Sadly, this figure represents only 66.4% of the film's reported 25 crore budget, leaving it with a deficit of 8.68 crore. Industry experts predict the film could end up incurring an 8 crore loss by the time it completes its theatrical run.
The horror thriller, which stars Anupama Parameswaran, Sai Srinivas Bellamkonda, and Makrand Deshpande, has received a rating of 8.4 on IMDb. The film's official synopsis describes it as a story about visitors who disturb a dormant spirit during a ghost tour at an old radio station, and now must find a way to escape the supernatural forces that threaten their lives.
