Kannappa Box Office Day 5: Vishnu Manchu's Film Struggles, Mints Rs 27 Crore
Last Updated: Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa, despite mixed reviews, has collected ₹27 crore at the box office in 5 days, according to Kannappa Box Office Collections Day 5: Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa may have ridden in with sky-high expectations and the promise of a grand mythological spectacle, but five days in, the numbers are telling a slightly different story. Despite a strong start, the film has been facing an uphill climb at the box office. Released to mixed reviews, Kannappa opened decently and drew attention for its larger-than-life visuals. But the momentum seems to be slowing down. According to the latest report by the film has managed to collect Rs 27 crore in its first five days. While not a disaster by any means, it's clear that the film is struggling to hold on to audiences post the opening weekend. As per early estimates, Kannappa collected Rs 1.75 crore on its fifth day, marking the film's lowest single-day collection so far. After a strong opening weekend, the film has seen a noticeable dip in numbers. Kannappa had kicked off with Rs 9.35 crore on its first day, followed by Rs 7.15 crore on Saturday and Rs 6.9 crore on Sunday. However, Monday saw a sharp drop with Rs 2.3 crore coming in. With Tuesday's earnings, the total box office collection now stands at Rs 27.45 crore. On Tuesday, Kannappa recorded an overall Telugu occupancy of just 14.13 per cent. On Monday, Vishnu Manchu took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a concerning update about Kannappa. The actor revealed that the film has become a victim of piracy, with over 30,000 illegal links already taken down. In a note, he wrote, 'Kannappa is under attack from piracy. This is heartbreaking. Piracy is theft — plain and simple. We don't teach our children to steal. Watching pirated content is no different. Please don't encourage it. Support cinema the right way." Kannappa was released in multiple languages — Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi — but it's the Telugu version that has performed the best so far at the box office. Kannappa is a big moment in Vishnu Manchu's career. It's already his highest-grossing film so far. His earlier releases like Ginna and Mosagallu didn't even manage to touch Rs 1 crore in their entire run. The last time Vishnu had a solid opening was back in 2014 with Rowdy, which made Rs 3 crore on Day 1 and wrapped up its first week at around Rs 11 crore. A review by News18 of Kannappa read, 'The whole sequence and the visual effects are superbly done, an example of how far our cinema has evolved technologically. Back in the day, the same scene would've involved golden cardboard arrows moving at less than 24 frames per second. One arrow would spew fire, the opponent's would quench it with water. If one turned into a snake, the other would become its predator, an eagle. Mukesh Kumar Singh's Kannappa isn't weighed down by such age-old silliness. Here, the fight sequences and visuals look rich. However, if one were to read out the dialogues of Kannappa and any devotional film from the past one after the other, it would be hard to discern which is from 2025 and which is not."
