Dulquer Salmaan's Kaantha Falls Short at Box Office
9 Dec
Summary
- Kaantha concluded its box office run with less than 40 crore gross.
- The film suffered a domestic deficit of over 40% against its budget.
- Kaantha will be available for streaming on Netflix starting December 12.

Dulquer Salmaan's latest film, Kaantha, has concluded its theatrical run with a box office collection of less than 40 crore gross worldwide. The period mystery crime drama, released on November 14, faced challenges in building momentum after an initial decent opening. Despite positive reception for its cast and production, critics noted inconsistent writing and execution.
The film reportedly carried a budget of 40 crore, necessitating a 40 crore net collection to break even. However, Kaantha managed only 22.8 crore net in India and an additional 8.45 crore gross overseas, resulting in a significant deficit and a losing verdict. This financial performance indicates a recovery of only 57% of its production costs.
Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, Kaantha also features P. Samuthirakani and Rana Daggubati. While its theatrical run may have been underwhelming, audiences can catch the film online. Kaantha is scheduled to begin streaming on Netflix starting December 12, offering a new avenue for viewers.
