Kaantha Box Office Collection Day 6: Dulquer Salmaan's Tamil Movie Eyes Rs 20 Crore Despite Slow Down

Kaantha Box Office Collection Day 6: Even though the biography of M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar serves as inspiration for Kaantha, the makers stress that it is still a work of fiction. The story centers on Ayya, a well-known Tamil filmmaker, and his complicated connection with actor T. K. Mahadevan, whose career Ayya greatly influenced. The 1950s backdrop of Kaantha gives its plot more nuance and lets viewers see Madras in a bygone period. Additionally, Dulquer Salmaan's film has been holding stable at the box office, especially after the first weekend, despite receiving excellent reviews.

Kaantha ended its opening weekend with a domestic total of Rs 19 crore largely due to Dulquer Salmaan's star power and the film's evocative 1950s Madras backdrop, Soon after, though, the box office results wilted. Sacnilk reports that Kaantha collected Rs 1.60 crore on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, indicating a discernible decline in theater attendance.
