Box office: Dulquer-Rana's 'Kaantha' opens to ₹16 lakh in US
Kaantha, starring Dulquer Salmaan and Rana Daggubati, kicked off its journey in the US with a solid ₹16 lakh premiere—most of it thanks to Telugu audiences.
Set in 1950s Madras, the film dives into the complicated bond between an ambitious actor and his seasoned director.
Daggubati's dual role as actor and co-producer seems to have really pulled in fans.
Release date, plot, and other details
Next up, Kaantha lands in Indian theaters on November 14. The film brings Salmaan back to vintage vibes after Mahanati, with P Samuthirakani and Bhagyashri Borse joining the cast.
Expect plenty of drama around ego, power struggles, and even murder—which has definitely piqued curiosity.
It'll share screens with De De Pyaar De 2 but is expected to attract its own crowd, as both films are targeting different audiences.
