Overview

• The Kamal Haasan–Mani Ratnam reunion opened to ₹15.5 crore but saw weekday earnings fall to just ₹1.15 crore on Day 8.
• At a reported ₹200 crore production cost, the film has recouped under 22 percent of its budget through its first week in theatres.
• A ban in Karnataka over Haasan’s remarks on the Kannada language cost the film a key regional market and dented box office returns.
• Mixed to negative reviews and poor word-of-mouth have driven a steep drop in shows and occupancy following its opening weekend.
• Netflix is renegotiating its ₹130 crore OTT rights deal, seeking a 20–25 percent reduction due to the film’s box office shortfall.
