The Kannada film industry hoped for one more pan-India miracle with KD: The Devil, but when early trends are anything to go by, the road ahead looks incredibly tough to travel for Dhruva Sarja’s film. Despite starring Sanjay Dutt because the antagonist, the film is struggling to seek out its footing on the box office inside its first 48 hours.

Dhruva Sarja‘s last theatrical release, Martin, opened at 6.3 crore on the box office, and in two days, the actor’s latest period drama has managed to someway surpass this opening day number!
KD: The Devil Box Office Day 2 Estimates
As per the early trends for Day 2, on Friday, May 1, KD: The Devil has managed to tug in roughly 3.5 crore. While the occupancy saw a marginal jump to 50% from yesterday’s 46%, the collection remained stagnant. The overall two-day collection now stands at roughly 7 crore.
The most important concern for this Dhruva Sarja biggie lies within the budget recovery. The film is reportedly mounted on an enormous budget of 100 crore. With a two-day net collection of just 7 crore, the film has managed a budget recovery of only 7%.
Produced by Venkat K Narayana under the banner of KVN Productions, KD: The Devil was surely one in all the highly anticipated movies of the 12 months. Starring Motion Prince Dhruva Sarja within the titular role, the movie promised to start a brand new era within the motion genre. It also stars Sanjay Dutt, Reeshma Nanaiah, Shilpa Shetty, V Ravichandran, Ramesh Aravind, and Nora Fatehi.
Rated 8.9 on IMDb, the official synopsis of the film says, “Within the early Nineteen Seventies. Petty criminal Kaali unwittingly involves himself with underworld thugs, catalyzing events beyond his control. Will their destiny allow it?”
