'Kaantha' Fails to Gain Momentum, Recovers Just 23% of 40 Crore Budget
16 Nov
Summary
- Dulquer Salmaan's 'Kaantha' underperforms at box office
- Film earns only 9.2 crore net in first 3 days
- Needs to earn 40 crore net to avoid 'failure' tag

Dulquer Salmaan's latest release, the period thriller 'Kaantha', has failed to gain significant momentum at the Indian box office since its debut last week. According to the latest reports, the film earned an estimated 4.85 crores on its second day, representing a jump of just 11.49% from the opening day's collection of 4.35 crores.
Overall, 'Kaantha' has managed to earn a net total of 9.2 crores at the Indian box office in its first 3 days, which translates to a gross collection of 10.85 crores after adjusting for GST. However, this figure falls well short of the film's reported 40 crore budget, with the recovery standing at just 23% so far.
Industry analysts suggest that 'Kaantha' needs to earn at least 40 crore net in India to avoid being considered a failure. To become a clean hit, the film would need to score 80 crore net, which would take its box office returns to 100%. But with the film's lackluster performance in the opening weekend, achieving these targets appears to be an uphill battle.
