Kaantha, starring Dulquer Salmaan and Rana Daggubati, just made a splash at the box office with ₹4 crore on day one.
Set in 1950s Madras, the film explores the conflict between a superstar and his mentor.
With its nationwide release in multiple languages, Kaantha is already getting noticed for its engaging story and standout performances.

Positive reviews, promising future

Alongside Salmaan and Daggubati, Bhagyashree Borse and Samuthirakani round out the cast.
Critics are praising director Selvamani Selvaraj's Shakespearean take on themes like ego and ambition.
While some say the plot is straightforward, strong acting and good word-of-mouth mean Kaantha could see even bigger crowds this weekend.
