Hit Or Flop?

With a budget of ₹200 crore and only ₹33.01 crore India net / ₹43.5 crore worldwide gross after 9 days, Kannappa is struggling badly at the box office. Despite its grandeur and strong mythological theme, the collections are far below expectations.

Unless the second week shows a miraculous jump, the movie is heading towards a flop verdict. It needs extraordinary growth and strong word of mouth to recover even a fraction of its huge budget.
