Kannappa Box Office Day 6: Vishnu Manchu's Film Struggles To Reach The Rs 30 Crore-Mark
Last Updated: Kannappa is Vishnu Manchu's highest-grossing film so far. His last releases, Ginna and Mosagallu, couldn't manage to reach Rs 1 crore in their whole run. Kannappa, the Vishnu Manchu starrer mythological drama, was released on June 27, with high expectations. Despite a good first day collection of Rs 9.35 crore Nett in India across all languages, the film has been facing an uphill climb at the box office. On its first Wednesday, Kannappa minted Rs 1.15 crore Nett in India, as per marking its lowest single-day collection so far. With this, the film's total 6-Day collection comes to Rs 28.65 crore. Looking at the numbers it is expected that the film could end its box office run with around Rs 30-33 crore in India. Although it is not a disaster, it's evident that the film is failing to maintain public interest after its opening weekend. The Vishnu Manchu-starrer has seen a significant drop in the numbers. It opened with Rs 9.35 crore on the first day, followed by Rs 7.15 crore on Saturday and Rs 6.9 crore on Sunday. However, Monday and Tuesday saw a decrease, with Rs 2.3 crore and Rs 1.8 crore respectively. Adding Wednesday's number, the total box office collection now stands at Rs 28.65 crore. Kannappa was released in several languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi, although the Telugu version has done the best at the box office till now. Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, the film featured several cameos from some of the biggest stars, including Mohanlal, Prabhas, Akshay Kumar and Kajal Aggarwal. It also features an ensemble cast including Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Madhoo and Preity Mukhundhan. The film narrates the story of Thinnadu, a tribal hunter who becomes the celebrated Shiva devotee Kannappa. It depicts his transformation from an atheist to one of Lord Shiva's greatest devotees, known for his immense devotion and ultimate sacrifice. Vishnu recently opened up about what went wrong with Kannappa at a press conference in Hyderabad, revealing that some extremely fantastic moments had to be deleted from the film due to poor visual effects (VFX). Kannappa is Vishnu Manchu's highest-grossing film so far. His last releases, Ginna and Mosagallu, couldn't manage to reach Rs 1 crore in their whole run. First Published:

Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa opening weekend numbers are in: Where does it land among biggest Telugu openers of 2025?
Mukesh Kumar Singh's Vishnu Manchu-starrer Kannappa has everything going for it. It boasts of a star cast the likes of Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal and Sarathkumar. Beautiful locales of New Zealand passing off for a south India untouched by modernity. And above all, the gut and gumption of Vishnu, who believed Friday would be his. Vishnu Manchu plays a hunter called Thinnadu in Kannappa. The issue is that Vishnu had aimed high and made such claims before. Be it with Voter, Mosagallu, or Ginna, the actor aimed to push the bar, but it never really landed. He even admitted recently that 'no Tollywood director' would be willing to work with him on Kannappa, and the failure of his last few films only added to the mistrust. But boy, did Vishnu prove the naysayers wrong, and how. Kannappa is still laden with issues that the audience has consistently pointed out since the film's release. It seems to be a general consensus that the first half of the film tests your patience, but the fag end of the second half soars. Despite all that, according to Sacnilk, the film managed to bring in ₹ 23.75 crore net in India in its opening weekend. These numbers are a personal best for Vishnu, who has been struggling to star in films that leave an impact for a while now. His last film, Ginna, made ₹ 24 lakh worldwide. And the much-hyped Mosagallu lived up to its title and brought in ₹ 1.65 crore worldwide. As Vishnu himself admits, the audience might have been lured to the theatres to watch Kannappa with Prabhas featuring in an exciting cameo, but Vishnu also seems to have finally turned things around for himself. Where Kannappa stands in 2025 films Kannappa's opening weekend numbers are impressive, but the film still has a long way to go to find its footing or even break even, as it was made on a budget of approximately ₹ 200 crore. Ram Charan's Game Changer might be a disappointment in the long run, but it still registered a ₹ 88.5 crore net opening weekend in India that any Telugu film has yet to beat. Venkatesh's Sankranthiki Vasthunam comes second with its ₹ 60.5 crore opening. Movie name Opening weekend numbers (net India) Game Changer ₹ 88.5 crore Sankranthiki Vasthunam ₹ 60.5 crore Daaku Maharaaj ₹ 50.4 crore HIT: The Third Case ₹ 41.9 crore Thandel ₹ 36.35 crore Mad Square ₹ 25.25 crore Kannappa ₹ 23.75 crore Court ₹ 14.8 crore Balakrishna's Daaku Maharaaj had an opening of ₹ 50.5 crore, while Nani's HIT: The Third Case had brought in ₹ 41.9 crore. Naga Chaitanya's Thandel had made ₹ 36.35 crore in its opening weekend. Narne Nithiin's ensemble film MAD Square made ₹ 25.25 crore, beating Kannappa by a thin margin. Kannappa's opening numbers have, however, beaten Priyadarshi's much-loved film Court, which had made ₹ 14.8 crore. While this still leaves Kannappa in a cushy spot, given history, Vishnu and the film still have the uphill task of sustaining numbers through the week and keeping the audience's interest until the film is in the clear. Will he manage to do that? Time will tell.
