Vishnu Manchu’s mythological action drama Kannappa. Which opened to significant buzz due to its grand visuals and cameos by stars like Prabhas and Akshay Kumar, has hit a slowdown. After a promising opening weekend, the film recorded its lowest earnings so far on Day 4. Collecting just ₹2.5 crore on its first Monday.
Kannappa Day-Wise Box Office Collection
The film had a solid start with a Day 1 collection of ₹9.35 crore. Followed by ₹7.15 crore on Saturday and ₹6.9 crore on Sunday. However, the sharp dip to ₹2.5 crore on Monday represents a nearly 64% drop from the previous day, signaling the usual post-weekend decline but also pointing to mixed audience retention.
DayCollection (₹ crore)
Day 1 (Friday) 9.35
Day 2 (Saturday) 7.15
Day 3 (Sunday) 6.9
Day 4 (Monday) 2.5
Total (4 Days) ~25.9
Mixed Reception May Be a Factor
Despite its ambitious scale, action set-pieces, and Vishnu Manchu’s committed performance, the film has received mixed reviews from both critics and audiences. While the grandeur and mythological theme attracted viewers during the weekend, word-of-mouth seems to have affected its weekday performance.
Can Kannappa Sustain in Week 1?
With a reported budget of around ₹200 crore, Kannappa needs a stronghold through the weekdays to stay profitable. If the film can maintain collections between ₹2 to ₹3 crore by Friday, it might wrap up the first week on a respectable note. However, a further drop could make recovery difficult without strong international or satellite revenues.
What Lies Ahead
The film’s performance in the coming days will be crucial. Additional promotions, regional support, or word-of-mouth growth may help stabilize its earnings. For now, Kannappa’s box office journey shows early strength but a steep challenge ahead as it moves deeper into the week.
