Kannappa Box Office Collection Day 1: Vishnu Manchu's Film Roars With Rs 9 Crore
Last Updated: Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa, featuring cameos by Akshay Kumar and Prabhas, earned Rs 9 crore nett across India on its opening day. Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa may not have opened to record-breaking numbers, but it sure made enough noise on day one. Seems like the cameos by Akshay Kumar and Prabhas worked in its favour. The Telugu mythological action drama hit theatres on Friday and, as per early estimates by earned Rs 9 crore nett across India. According to the report, Kannappa saw varied occupancy rates across regions on Friday—16.45 per cent in Tamil, 55.89 per cent in Telugu, 14.56 per cent in Hindi, 13.81 per cent in Kannada, and 7.20 per cent in Malayalam. While the film collected Rs 9 crore on its opening day, it still outperformed Kajol's Maa, which earned Rs 4.50 crore. In fact, Kannappa made nearly double of what Maa did, as per data from Maa also hit theatres on Friday, marking Kajol's much-awaited return to the big screen after a three-year break. Directed by Vishal Furia, the mythological horror thriller is produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande, with Kumar Mangat Pathak serving as co-producer. 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." Kannappa is a 2025 Indian Telugu-language mythological devotional film directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh. The story, written by Vishnu Manchu—who also plays the titular role—is inspired by the legend of Kannappa, a devoted follower of Lord Shiva in Hindu mythology. The film is produced by veteran actor Mohan Babu and features a star-studded ensemble cast including Preity Mukhundhan, Kajal Aggarwal, Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Siva Balaji, Kaushal Manda, Rahul Madhav, Devaraj, Mukesh Rishi, Raghu Babu, and Madhoo in key supporting roles. First Published:

Kannappa Opens Big — For a Vishnu Manchu film, 11cr first day box office in India
Kannappa opened well at the Telugu box office, grossing Rs. 11 crore approx on its first day in India. The Vishnu Manchu starrer, featuring a galore of cameos from all across the country, including big names like Prabhas, Akshay Kumar and Mohanlal, drew most of its revenue from the Telugu version. The Hindi dubbed version had minimal collections while Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam were pretty much washouts. The film grossed Rs. 8.50 crore approx on Friday in the Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The opening is career best for Vishnu, who doesn't really have a box office track record of any value to his name, with his last hit being more than a decade ago and his recent films all being pretty much non-starters. The opening can be attributed to the subject matter, while the presence of Prabhas also probably helped the going to some degree in the Telugu states. The film carries huge costs, and the production is carrying the risk with theatrical rights not sold to any third-party distributors, which is rare for a Telugu film. The film could have done with a bigger opening, but then there weren't any expectations for that, and these numbers are better than expectations. It doesn't seem like the Hindi version will break out, which makes it tough for it, relying only on the Telugu version, which tends to fade quickly. The film will aim to sustain from this start, with the immediate task being not to drop big today. The first day box office collections of Kannappa are as follows:
