Led by Vishnu Manchu and bolstered by an incredible lineup of superstars, the film has captured the attention of audiences across India, collecting an impressive ₹23.75 crore in just three days.
The film, which tells the devotional story of a hunter's unwavering faith in Lord Shiva, got off to a fantastic start. Here’s a look at its day-by-day journey at the Indian box office:
Day 1 (Friday): The film opened strong with collections of ₹8.5 crore.
Day 2 (Saturday): Maintaining its momentum, it added another ₹8 crore.
Day 3 (Sunday): It saw a minor dip, which is common for Sunday showings, but still managed to rake in a solid ₹7.25 crore.
This strong opening is a testament to the film's immense star power.

This star-studded cast has clearly created a massive buzz and drawn crowds to theaters.
Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, "Kannappa" was made on a grand scale with a budget of approximately ₹100 crore. Its strong first-weekend collection has given it a solid foundation to build upon. Now, the real test begins as the film enters its first week. All eyes will be on its weekday performance to see if it can maintain its hold and march towards blockbuster status.
