Arya’s political action thriller “Ananthan Kaadu” records early box office movement over its first weekend. On its second day, the film’s collections rise by 52.3%, bringing its net India total to about Rs 1.64 crore, with day-two figures estimated at Rs 99 lakhs net. Reports also note that while overall occupancy shows a slight dip, a wider release and strong performances—particularly attributed to the Malayalam version—support the film’s momentum.
On the third day, however, collections drop. The film is reported to earn an estimated Rs 41 lakhs net on day three, a 31.7% decline from the previous day, even as the net India total edges up to around Rs 1.66 crore. Coverage links the change in performance to audience and critical feedback around the screenplay, describing it as weighed down by lengthy dialogues and multiple themes. Reviews also cite concerns about character impact and how local elements are presented.
