The Tamil period thriller drama released yesterday (November 14), and it opened to mixed reviews from critics. Even among the ticket-buying audience, the initial word of mouth has been mixed so far.

How much did Kaantha earn at the Indian box office on day 1?
Due to limited growth in the evening and night shows, Kaantha scored an estimated 4.1 crore net (Tamil and Telugu) at the Indian box office. Including GST, it has earned around 4.83 crore gross. From here, the film needs to gain the pace to post a healthy total by the end of the first weekend.
