The Diwali weekend brought robust openings for the three major releases—KA, Amaran, and Lucky Baskhar. Each of these films benefited from positive word-of-mouth and critical acclaim, contributing to impressive initial collections. However, with the festive buzz settling, the true test lies in their weekday box office numbers. Here’s how each film fared on Monday:
KA: Monday Box Office Performance
Starring Kiran Abbavaram, KA was praised for its sharp writing and solid technical production. After a successful weekend, Monday’s performance was steady but modest, maintaining enough momentum to secure profitability. The film has already hit its breakeven point, and additional collections are now adding to its profits. Over five days, KA has garnered ₹22 crore, marking it as a clear success.
Amaran: Monday Box Office Performance
With Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi in lead roles, Amaran sustained high occupancy, particularly across Tamil Nadu. The biographical drama has already crossed ₹100 crore in India and ₹150 crore worldwide, making it Sivakarthikeyan’s first ₹150 crore hit. With strong traction, the film is likely to reach ₹200 crore by the weekend, with potential to surpass ₹250 crore overall.
Lucky Baskhar: Monday Box Office Performance
Despite favorable reviews, Dulquer Salmaan’s Lucky Baskhar continues to face challenges in Telugu markets. However, the film’s strong performance in Tamil Nadu and Kerala provided a solid boost, pushing it past the ₹50 crore mark in five days. With its strength in Tamil and Malayalam territories, there’s optimism that positive word-of-mouth may improve its numbers in Telugu states by the weekend
