Kannappa
Box
Office
Collection:
The
Telugu
mythological
drama
Kannappa,
starring
Vishnu
Manchu
in
the
lead,
is
now
facing
the
crucial
weekday
test
after
a
somewhat
steady
but
declining
performance
over
its
opening
weekend.
Released
on
June
27,
2025,
the
film,
based
on
the
story
of
the
Shaivite
devotee
Kannappa,
has
entered
its
fourth
day
in
theaters
with
box
office
numbers
indicating
a
sharp
drop.
Directed
by
Mukesh
Kumar
Singh
and
produced
by
veteran
actor
Mohan
Babu,
Kannappa
had
a
wide
multilingual
release
across
Telugu,
Hindi,
Tamil,
Kannada,
and
Malayalam.
The
film
opened
on
a
promising
note
with
₹9.35
crore
India
net
on
its
first
day.
However,
the
collections
saw
a
downward
trend
over
the
weekend.
According
to
box
office
tracker
Sacnilk,
the
film
earned
₹7.15
crore
on
Saturday
and
₹6.6
crore
on
Sunday,
bringing
the
three-day
total
to
₹23.1
crore
(India
net).
Monday,
often
considered
the
real
test
for
any
film’s
theatrical
run,
brought
a
worrying
sign.
As
per
early
live
data
from
Sacnilk
(as
of
11:50
AM
IST),
Kannappa
had
managed
only
₹0.09
crore
on
its
fourth
day.
While
this
figure
is
subject
to
revision
as
final
numbers
are
updated,
the
initial
trend
suggests
a
steep
decline
in
audience
turnout
as
the
workweek
begins.
Mythological
Drama
Faces
Crucial
Week
After
Mixed
Start
The
film’s
story,
written
by
Vishnu
Manchu,
draws
from
the
legend
of
Thinna
(Kannappa),
a
hunter
who
becomes
an
ardent
devotee
of
Lord
Shiva
and
is
remembered
for
his
act
of
ultimate
devotion
–
offering
his
eyes
to
the
deity.
In
addition
to
Vishnu
Manchu
in
the
central
role,
the
cast
features
notable
names
such
as
Mohanlal
(Kirata),
Prabhas
(Rudra),
Akshay
Kumar
(Lord
Shiva),
and
Kajal
Aggarwal
(Parvati).
Shot
extensively
in
New
Zealand,
the
film
features
music
by
Stephen
Devassy,
cinematography
by
Sheldon
Chau,
and
editing
by
Anthony
Gonsalvez.
Despite
its
production
scale
and
star-studded
cast,
Kannappa
has
received
mixed
reviews
from
critics
and
viewers,
which
may
be
impacting
its
box
office
trajectory.
With
Monday’s
collections
falling
drastically,
the
film
now
faces
an
uphill
task
in
sustaining
its
theatrical
run.
Whether
Kannappa
can
stabilize
in
the
coming
days
or
continues
to
drop
will
determine
its
long-term
performance
at
the
box
office.
