Kannappa Movie X Review:
Kannappa has a moving climax with an impactful devotional element, and the intent is visible throughout. However, it lacks the real action highs and emotional depth until the final act._ #Kannappa pic.twitter.com/naj4j3ddLX — AA__ (@Koushik39911112) June 27, 2025

#KannappaMovie failed to reach expectation but remained as a decent watch to families for weekend . negatives mainly Mid-range VFX in some portions,Weak first half but dragged to a average film by climax #Prabhas_ & #VishnuManchu rating :2.25/5#KannappaReview pic.twitter.com/m8OO0Bl2G4 — murAAli__ (@007_murAAli) June 27, 2025
#KannappaMovie - A mixed bag with some highs and lows. Positives: Songs, Manchu Vishnu's effort, Prabhas' episode, and a few impactful moments. Negatives: Weak cinematography, average editing, artificial CGI, costumes. A decent one-time watch overall. _
Rating: 2/5 _ pic.twitter.com/w7VFwkOu4u — CineDisco (@cinedisco_) June 27, 2025

Maa Day 1 India Box Office: Kajol's film springs a surprise; Nets Rs 4.25 crore amidst competition from F1 and Sitaare Zameen Par
Kajol led Maa, directed by Vishal Furia, has opened to a respectable Rs 4-4.50 crore at the Indian box office. This is a solid start for the film, especially considering the tough competition it faces. The holdover juggernaut Sitaare Zameen Par, the Hollywood biggie F1, and the new South Indian ensemble Kannappa are all craving for audience attention. Despite this, Maa has managed to carve out its space, and that's no small feat. Maa Opens To Rs 4.25 Crore Net On Day 1 In India; Good Start Amidst Stiff Competition The film released across 1500 screens in India, which is a modest count. Many screens are sharing shows with other movies, limiting Maa's showtimes. Yet, the Rs 4.25 crore opening is a pleasant surprise. The film's connection to the Shaitaan universe has played a big role in drawing audiences. Without this link, the opening could have been lower. Fans of Shaitaan are curious to see how Maa fits into this supernatural world, and that curiosity has given the film a boost. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Maa Are As Under Maa Shall Have To Show Strong Growth Over The Weekend And Then Steady Itself Over The Weekdays A Rs 4 crore start gives Maa a strong foundation to grow. If word-of-mouth is positive, the film could see a good jump over the weekend. The target now is to sustain this momentum. A healthy weekend performance could put Maa on the path to success. The film's budget is on the higher side for a female-led project, which makes these early numbers crucial. However, Maa has secured strong non-theatrical deals, thanks to its Shaitaan connection. These deals provide a financial cushion, easing some of the pressure on box office performance. Maa Is Aided By Ticket Booking Offers One key factor in Maa's day 1 collections is the Buy 2 Get 1 offer on BookMyShow. This deal has encouraged group bookings, thus boosting ticket sales. The offer has been a smart move, especially in a crowded market where audiences have multiple options. It's helped Maa attract families and younger viewers, who are drawn to Kajol 's star power and the film's intriguing premise. All Eyes Are On How Maa Performs In The Days To Follow If Maa maintains steady collections after a good first weekend of around Rs 17 crore, it could emerge as a success story. For now, Maa's Rs 4.25 crore opening is a promising start. The stage is set for Kajol's film to shine. You can watch Maa in theatres, now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on Maa.

The film features a long list of stars, including Mohanlal, Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, and Kajal Aggarwal, all of whom play key roles. Let's take a look at how much these stars were paid. Akshay Kumar In 'Kannappa', Akshay Kumar portrays Lord Shiva. When his look was unveiled, he gained the attention of many fans as it resembled his look from his 2023 film 'OMG-2'. According to Times Now, Akshay received a substantial fee for his role, amounting to Rs 6 crores. Kajal Aggarwal Actress Kajal Aggarwal takes on the role of Mata Parvati in the film. Her performance has been well-received in the film. Many netizens have hailed her screen time along with Akshay Kumar as iconic.

Reports suggest that neither actor took any payment for their roles. Vishnu Manchu mentioned in a Zoom interview, 'Prabhas and Mohanlal did not take fees. However, they will be compensated for their efforts after the film's release. I owe them a lot.' More About Kannappa It is said that 'Kannappa' is a big-budget film, made with a budget of 200 crores. Vishnu Manchu has invested heavily in this project. The film is receiving positive feedback. It will be interesting to see how much it earns on its opening day. Kannappa combines devotion, grandeur, and breathtaking visuals. The movie has a runtime of 2 hours and 50 minutes and seeks to provide a deep, emotional journey based on mythology. In a discussion with Valai Pechu, editor Anthony Gonsalvez shared that the story unfolds through three parallel plots – the spiritual journey of an atheist becoming a devoted believer, a touching love story, and an impending external danger to the tribe. Even with its grand scale, he promised that the film keeps a quick and engaging pace throughout. The movie features a strong cast of supporting actors such as Mohan Babu, Brahmanandam, R. Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Brahmaji, Rahul Madhav, Siva Balaji, Kaushal Manda, Devaraj, Mukesh Rishi, Raghu Babu, and Preity Mukhundhan.

Kannappa box office collection day 1 early report: Vishnu Manchu's dream project scores career-high opening
Kannappa box office collection day 1 early report: Actor Vishnu Manchu's long-anticipated dream project Kannappa finally hit theatres on Friday. Featuring Vishnu in the titular role, the film also stars heavyweights like Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, and Mohanlal in prominent roles. Leading up to the release, Vishnu undertook a spiritual tour of the 12 Jyotirlingas and emphasised in multiple interviews that Kannappa is not a mythological drama, but a significant chapter from Indian history. However, early reactions suggest that audiences may not entirely share his conviction. As of 8 pm on release day, the film has earned Rs 6.5 crore at the box office, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. While this is the highest opening for a Vishnu Manchu film, it falls short of expectations for a project of this scale—especially one shot over eight months in New Zealand with a crew of more than 800 people. Despite the presence of Prabhas and Mohanlal, the film has not generated the kind of frenzy typically associated with their solo releases. The movie recorded a varied occupancy across languages: 50.45% in Telugu, 16.06% in Tamil, 13.63% in Kannada, 9.53% in Hindi, and just 5.80% in Malayalam. The film has been released across 2,079 screens in India, distributed as follows: 1,081 in Telugu, 522 in Hindi, 294 in Malayalam, 131 in Tamil, and 51 in Kannada. Also Read | Kannappa movie review: Vishnu Manchu's ambition cannot fully save this tediously long saga Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, Kannappa opened alongside Maa, a horror drama starring Kajol. Promoted as part of Ajay Devgn's Shaitaan universe, Maa managed to collect Rs 3.21 crore by 8 pm across 2,462 shows—383 more than Kannappa. The movie opened to mixed reviews on Friday. A part of SCREEN's review read, 'Kannappa is about the trials of faith and how a non-believer sheds his arrogance to embrace personal transformation – so, when the screenplay (also credited to Vishnu) does come to its own for a brief while, it throws up a few pleasant surprises that salvage an otherwise turgid retelling of mythology.'
