Kaantha, the period drama thriller starring Dulquer Salmaan and Rana Daggubati, has completed its first week at the box office. Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, the film garnered significant buzz prior to its release due to its unique 1950s Madras setting ,though it faced a mixed reception regarding its pacing. The film opened on Friday (Nov 14) with a domestic net collection of ₹4.35 Cr, driven largely by a strong start in the Tamil market. Positive initial curiosity pushed the collections to their peak on Saturday, registering ₹5 Cr. However, mixed word-of-mouth regarding the second half affected the Sunday numbers, which dipped slightly to ₹4.5 Cr. As is the case with most content-driven films, Kaantha faced a sharp decline on its first Monday, dropping by 60% to collect ₹1.8 Cr.Despite the drop, the movie displayed stability throughout the weekdays.This consistency suggests that a niche audience is still patronizing the film.

On its sixth day, a Wednesday, the film is tracking towards a collection of ₹0.73 crore, based on early estimates.

Released on November 14, 2025, Kaantha is a Tamil-Telugu bilingual period drama directed by Selvamani Selvaraj. The film is set in the vibrant and tumultuous world of 1950s Madras cinema. It delves into the complex power dynamics and ego clashes between a revered director, Ayya (Samuthirakani), and his ambitious protégé-turned-superstar, T.K. Mahadevan (Dulquer Salmaan). The narrative takes a dark turn into a murder mystery, exploring the fragile balance between artistry, fame, and personal relationships.The film is co-produced by Dulquer Salmaan and Rana Daggubati under their respective banners, Wayfarer Films and Spirit Media. The cast also includes Bhagyashri Borse in her Tamil debut, alongside Ravindra Vijay and Gayathrie Shankar. While there was speculation that the film was based on the life of actor M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar, the filmmakers have clarified that it is a work of fiction. Kaantha has received mixed reviews, with critics praising the powerful performances, particularly by Dulquer Salmaan, and the film's authentic production design that captures the golden age of South Indian cinema. However, some have pointed to an uneven screenplay as a drawback.
