Dulquer Salmaan's Kaantha Faces Box Office Blues
23 Nov
Summary
- Kaantha failed to gain momentum during its crucial second weekend.
- The film has recovered only 53.8% of its 40 crore budget.
- Collection on the second Saturday was 91% less than Lucky Baskhar.
Dulquer Salmaan's period mystery drama thriller, Kaantha, has concluded its theatrical run with a disappointing performance at the Indian box office. The film faced a do-or-die situation during its second weekend but failed to capitalize on the opportunity, falling short of expectations. Despite being made on a moderate budget of 40 crores, Kaantha has struggled to find its footing.
The film experienced a significant dip in collections during its opening week and failed to build momentum over the second weekend. On its ninth day, Kaantha garnered only 47 lakh, a slight increase from the previous day's 30 lakh. This performance pales in comparison to Salmaan's earlier release, Lucky Baskhar, which earned substantially more on its second Saturday.
With an approximate recovery of only 53.8% of its budget, amounting to 21.52 crores against the 40 crore investment, Kaantha is now deemed a losing affair. The film's slow pace suggests it will not achieve a full budget recovery, cementing its status as a box office disappointment.
