Slow slide after a strong start
According to the Sacnilk website, the film opened to a decent start on its first Friday as it collected Rs 9.35 crore across all languages. However, the weekend showed a gradual dip instead of growth, with Saturday bringing in Rs 7.15 crore and Sunday closing at Rs 6.9 crore. While these numbers indicated a mild fall, the real trouble began post-weekend.
The weekday collections saw a sharp decline as Monday brought just Rs 2.3 crore, followed by Rs 1.8 crore on Tuesday.
The trend continued with ₹1.35 crore on Wednesday and Rs 1.25 crore on Thursday (early estimates).
Low occupancy adds to woes
'Kannappa' struggled with theatre occupancy too. On its seventh day, the Telugu version saw an average occupancy of only 12.89%. Morning shows stood at 11.06%, improving slightly for night shows at 13.99%. The situation was more grim for the Hindi version, which recorded just 6.61% overall occupancy — the morning shows started as low as 4.31%.
Star power couldn't save the mythological drama
Kannappa - Official Hindi Trailer
Directed with grandeur and ambition, 'Kannappa' was expected to ride on the shoulders of its leading cast and visual scale. Alongside Vishnu Manchu, the film features veteran actors like Mohan Babu and R. Sarathkumar, along with a special appearance by Prabhas. But the early signs indicate that star power alone hasn't been enough to pull the audience in consistently.
Unless a miraculous turnaround happens over the next weekend, 'Kannappa' might end up being one of the biggest underperformers among big-budget mythological releases this year.

‘Dheeran' movie review: rustic humour works, but film loses its way midway through
Right from the title Dheeran (brave), which defines the protagonist, almost every other character in Devadath Shaji's debut directorial has a defining trait. From a Hindi-obsessed welder to a local don who is more interested in his perfume business to an illicit liquor brewer who has a penchant for stirring up trouble even in the most peaceful of circumstances, it is a motley crew of oddballs. Eldhose (Rajesh Madhavan), the protagonist, gets that unlikely name which he struggles to live up to from an act of bravery in childhood, that also becomes a moment of tragedy in his life. Director Devadath Shaji, who wrote the screenplay of Bheeshmaparvam, gives a wrapping of humour to convey all that he wants to. Beneath its surface layer of easy humour, which keeps the film engaging atleast until the halfway point, Dheeran is also about the long-lasting impact of certain events in the lives of people. One particular incident leaves all those who are involved in it deeply scarred, some physical while for some others it is mental. The incident also dictates the whole village's perception of a particular character. Part of Dheeran involves a road trip to an interior village in Tamil Nadu, just that the choice of vehicle is an ambulance, the freezer box of which comes in handy for quite a few novel purposes. The strongest phases of the film are set inside the vehicle and in the little village with its host of characters who are adept at poking their noses into the lives of others. These sequences carry the spirit of the many small films of immense rewatch value which used to be made in Malayalam in the late 1980s. But the non-linear narrative loses its grip when the action shifts to Tamil Nadu, where a character has landed in a soup of his own making. The plot at this point rests on the myriad confusions over a mistaken identity, but the confusions are limited only to the characters in the film. For the audience, there is not much of a surprise in store, which also reduces considerably the overall effect of the film. Towards the end, the plot is ridden with quite a few holes and a lot of convenient occurrences. Even so, the film never strays away from its lighter treatment of almost all the happenings. The coming together of the 1990s gang of Jagadish, Ashokan, Manoj K. Jayan, Sudheesh and Vineeth was touted as one of the highlights of the film. They live up to the hype to an extent and succeed in carrying the film along with Rajesh Madhavan, Aswathy Manoharan and the rest of the cast. Dheeran works partly when it banks on rustic humour, but loses its way midway through.
