Vishnu Manchu’s latest film, ‘Kannappa,’ a mythological drama, has seen a significant drop in box office collections during its first week. Despite a strong opening day with earnings of ₹9.35 crore, the film’s revenue has declined over the weekend and into the weekdays, totaling ₹27.45 crore across all languages in India within the first five days. The film features a star-studded cast, including popular actors Prabhas and Akshay Kumar, which initially attracted audiences. However, despite this strong lineup, the film has struggled to maintain high occupancy rates as the week progressed. The initial buzz surrounding ‘Kannappa’ was promising, with many expecting it to perform well due to its engaging storyline and high-profile cast. However, the decline in collections suggests that it may not meet the high expectations set by its opening day performance. This trend is not uncommon for films that open strongly but face challenges sustaining momentum in subsequent days. The film industry often sees fluctuations in box office numbers based on various factors such as word-of-mouth reviews, competing releases, and audience preferences. For ‘Kannappa,’ maintaining audience interest will be crucial in the coming days to improve its financial performance. The film’s producers and distributors may need to consider strategic marketing efforts or promotional activities to boost viewership and counteract the declining trend. As ‘Kannappa’ continues its run in theaters, it remains to be seen whether it can regain its initial momentum and achieve greater commercial success.
