Kaantha, featuring Dulquer Salman in the lead role, is now in theaters. In the pre-release stage, the film generated decent buzz, and it appears to be translating into footfalls. Regarding the day 1 advance booking, the response was decent, and through over-the-counter ticket sales, it is likely to join the top 3 openers of Dulquer in the post-COVID era by surpassing Kurup.

Decent response in day 1 pre-sales
Dulquer was last seen in Lucky Baskhar, which was released a year ago. Since his last release was a commercial and critical success, the anticipation for his latest film was there to an extent. It helped the film register pre-sales of 2.23 crore gross in India for day 1. Additionally, due to the lack of major releases, it is expected to attract footfalls in Telugu states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana), Tamil Nadu, and Kerala through walk-ins.
Kaantha is likely to be among Dulquer Salmaan’s top 3 post-COVID openers
Overall, Kaantha is in a position to register a start of above 5 crore net at the Indian box office. It is likely to cross Kurup (5.6 crores) and enter the top three openers of Dulquer Salmaan in the post-COVID era. It is expected to stay in the same position, as beating King Of Kotha (6.85 crores) looks tough. Lucky Baskhar (7.35 crores) looks completely out of reach.
