The much-anticipated Kannada film KD - The Devil premiered on April 30, 2026, to a mix of critical reception. Despite initial mixed reviews, the action thriller has secured the biggest opening week of 2026 in the Sandalwood film industry within its first 72 hours.
Prem's directorial venture reportedly boasts a substantial 100 crore budget. The film's box office performance saw a dip on its first Saturday, with day 3 earnings reported at 2.08 crore, a nearly 40% decrease from Friday's 3.5 crore. This brought the cumulative net collection in India to 9.08 crore.
Amidst concerns about weak word-of-mouth, the film has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing the opening week collection of Love Mocktail 3, which stood at 7.36 crore, within just three days. The success of KD - The Devil now hinges on its Sunday performance, as a continued decline could impact its prospects during the weekdays.
