Dhanush’s latest outing Kara has opened to a surprisingly low response on the box office. The actor has been on a golden run on the box office with consistent performers and solid openers. Nonetheless, he seems to have hit a large speed bump along with his latest release. While the actor is thought for his experimental selections, the early trends for his recent offering suggest that the film will struggle to ring a bell with the masses on its opening day.
Dhanush’s Last Opening
Dhanush’s last Tamil release was Idli Kadai, which opened at 11 crore on the box office and earned love from the audience. Along with his recent film, the actor has managed to bring only 30% of Idli Kadai‘s opening day collection on the box office.
Kara Box Office Day 1 Estimates
In line with early trends, Kara has collected almost 2.5 crore until 8 PM. The film is predicted to shut its Day 1 within the range of 3 – 3.5 crore in India. Much more concerning is that it has fallen below the numbers of Naane Varuvean, which was previously his lowest post-COVID opener.
The film registered a lukewarm 20.2% occupancy on Day 1. Often, a Dhanush starrer sees a large surge through the evening and night shows in Tamil Nadu, however the trends indicate a flat trajectory. The low start can be attributed to the film’s area of interest treatment or perhaps an absence of aggressive promotion.
