Kanguva box office collection day 9: Suriya’s film fails to impress, earns just Rs 61 lakh

Kanguva, which hit the screens on November 14, made a decent impact at the domestic box office in its first week despite receiving mixed reviews. The Suriya-led fantasy drama, however, failed to hold its own on its second Friday (November 22). This spells trouble for the biggie as it has been shot on a budget of Rs 300 crore.?

Suriya’s Kanguva collects its lowest since release

The Suriya-led Kanguva, which opened to a good response at the box office on November 14, struggled to woo the audience on its ninth day. According to Sacnilk, a trade tracking website, the film netted Rs 61 lakh at the ticket window on Friday (November 22). This is the lowest it has collected on a given day since its release. The figure is also nearly 26% lower than the Rs 1.9 crore it raked in on Thursday (November 21).

Here is the day-wise breakdown for Kanguva:

Day 1: Rs 24 crore

Day 2: Rs 9.5 crore

Day 3: Rs 9.85 crore

Day 4:? Rs 10.25 crore

Day 5: Rs 3.15 crore

Day 6: Rs 3.25 crore

Day 7: Rs 2.40 crore?

Day 8: Rs 1.9 crore

Day 9: Rs 61 lakh

The total collection stands at nearly Rs 64 crore.?

The film is expected to witness some growth today (November 23) as it's a weekend. However, the damage may already have been done as the word-of-mouth is unimpressive. Moreover, it faces competition from Sivakarthikeyan’s Amaran. The biographical drama remains the top choice of the Tamil audience even in its fourth week.?
