Dulquer Salmaan's film *Kaantha* has collected approximately ₹19.2 crore domestically in its first 7 days, according to the Sacnilk report. The film opened with ₹4.35 crore on day 1 and saw fluctuations in the following days, with a strong Saturday but a notable dip on Sunday. Its daily collections were around ₹5 crore on day 2, ₹4.5 crore on day 3, declining to ₹1.64 crore on day 6, and dropping sharply to ₹0.06 crore on day 7 (Thursday, November 20, 2025). The film's occupancy varied regionally, with Tamil Nadu registering an overall occupancy of 14.69% on the day before its seventh day. Despite the decline, night shows showed some rebound in audience interest. The movie, a period drama set in 1950s Madras, has thus had an underwhelming box office performance compared to expectations[2][10][8]. Additional context indicates the box office situation of *Kaantha* contrasts sharply with the Kannada film *Kantara: Chapter 1*, which surpassed ₹300 crore domestically by its seventh day, earning ₹25 crore on the seventh day alone and becoming the second highest-grossing Kannada film in 2025[1][3][5][7][9]. In brief, *Kaantha* has faced a decline toward the end of its first week and its total collection stands modest at around ₹19 crore across India, despite early positive buzz and notable star power[2][10].
