Kannappa Box Office Day 4: Vishnu Manchu's Film Sees Monday Dip, Crashes To Rs 1.5 crore
Last Updated: Kannappa, Vishnu Manchu's mythological drama, saw a sharp drop on its first Monday, earning Rs 1.5 crore. Despite a strong opening, the total stands at Rs 24.96 crore. After a decent opening weekend, Kannappa hit a speed bump on Monday. Vishnu Manchu's mythological drama saw a sharp drop in numbers as it managed to collect only Rs 1.5 crore on day 4. Looks like the Monday blues hit the box office too. According to the latest reports, Kannappa earned Rs 1.56 crore on its fourth day, which was also its first Monday in theatres. The film opened strong with Rs 9.35 crore on day one but saw a dip over the weekend, collecting Rs 7.15 crore on Saturday and Rs 6.9 crore on Sunday. With these numbers, the total box office collection so far stands at Rs 24.96 crore. While the start was promising, the film didn't show much growth after the opening day. On Monday, Vishnu Manchu took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a concerning update about Kannappa. The actor revealed that the film has become a victim of piracy, with over 30,000 illegal links already taken down. In a note, he wrote, 'Kannappa is under attack from piracy. This is heartbreaking. Piracy is theft — plain and simple. We don't teach our children to steal. Watching pirated content is no different. Please don't encourage it. Support cinema the right way." Kannappa was released in multiple languages — Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi — but it's the Telugu version that has performed the best so far at the box office. Kannappa is a big moment in Vishnu Manchu's career. It's already his highest-grossing film so far. His earlier releases like Ginna and Mosagallu didn't even manage to touch Rs 1 crore in their entire run. The last time Vishnu had a solid opening was back in 2014 with Rowdy, which made Rs 3 crore on Day 1 and wrapped up its first week at around Rs 11 crore. A review by News18 of Kannappa read, 'The whole sequence and the visual effects are superbly done, an example of how far our cinema has evolved technologically. Back in the day, the same scene would've involved golden cardboard arrows moving at less than 24 frames per second. One arrow would spew fire, the opponent's would quench it with water. If one turned into a snake, the other would become its predator, an eagle. Mukesh Kumar Singh's Kannappa isn't weighed down by such age-old silliness. Here, the fight sequences and visuals look rich. However, if one were to read out the dialogues of Kannappa and any devotional film from the past one after the other, it would be hard to discern which is from 2025 and which is not." Kannappa is a 2025 Telugu-language mythological devotional film directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh. The story is inspired by the legendary devotee of Lord Shiva and has been written by Vishnu Manchu, who also stars as Kannappa. The film is produced by veteran actor Mohan Babu and boasts a star-studded cast including Preity Mukhundhan, Kajal Aggarwal, Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Siva Balaji, Kaushal Manda, Rahul Madhav, Devaraj, Mukesh Rishi, Raghu Babu, and Madhoo in key roles. First Published: July 01, 2025, 07:29 IST
