Strong Opening Weekend (Days 1-3)
Kanguva made an impressive start with ₹3.50 Crore on Day 1, followed by ₹2.40 Crore on Day 2 and ₹2.15 Crore on Day 3. The total of ₹8.05 Crore during the opening weekend suggested a promising start, fueled by excitement around the film’s release. However, the ability to maintain momentum in the days following was an ongoing challenge.
Weekdays Performance (Days 4-7)
After the weekend surge, Kanguva experienced a significant decline during the weekdays. Day 4 saw earnings of ₹2.57 Crore, but by Day 5, the collections had dropped to ₹84 Lakhs, followed by ₹85 Lakhs on Day 6 and ₹67 Lakhs on Day 7. This dip in earnings reflected a decrease in audience interest, possibly due to factors like weaker word-of-mouth and growing competition from other films.
Post-Week Decline (Days 8-13)
In its second week, the film continued to struggle, with collections falling to ₹59 Lakhs on Day 8, and ₹20 Lakhs on Days 9 and 10. By Day 11, earnings dwindled to ₹30 Lakhs, and by Day 13, the film was earning only ₹13 Lakhs per day. The consistent decline in the second week highlighted that Kanguva had failed to sustain audience interest.
Total Collection Analysis
As of Day 14, Kanguva has grossed ₹14.42 Crore in its Hindi net box office run. While the opening weekend was promising, the sharp decline in collections suggests that the film struggled to maintain viewer interest, especially after the initial surge.
Verdict
While Kanguva had a strong opening, its inability to sustain box office performance over the weeks signals a struggle to meet long-term expectations. With a total of ₹14.42 Crore, the film’s theatrical run may not be as profitable as initially anticipated. However, it may still find some recovery through digital and satellite rights.
