Dhanush’s film “Idli Kadhai” was released in theaters worldwide on October 1st. Dhanush directed and starred in the film. The film’s story, based on a rural setting and magical elements, has resonated with audiences. Ticket bookings for the film were strong on the first day. Released during the festive season, the film gained an initial advantage, but reports emerged of lower-than-expected collections. While the film certainly generated interest among audiences, it failed to achieve the desired box office success.
Total Collections for the First Two Days
“Idli Kadhai” was released in Tamil and Telugu. On its first day, the film grossed approximately ₹11 crore (approximately $11.35 billion) in India. The Tamil version earned ₹10.35 crore, while the Telugu version earned ₹0.65 crore. The film continued its strong performance on the second day, earning ₹9.75 crore (approximately $9.75 billion), of which the Tamil version earned ₹9 crore and the Telugu version earned ₹0.75 crore. The film’s total collection over these two days was ₹20.75 crore in India, while global collections are estimated at around ₹25 crore. Audience response was encouraging on the first two days.
Day 3
There was curiosity about the film’s earnings on the third day. According to preliminary figures, “Idli Kadhai” earned approximately ₹5.50 crore on the third day, bringing the film’s total collection to ₹26.25 crore. The film had a strong opening on the first two days, but saw a noticeable decline on the third day. This decline is likely due to audience expectations and competition.
Dhanush’s rural story and acting
“Idli Kadhai” is Dhanush’s fourth directorial venture, and this time too, he has successfully touched the hearts of audiences. The film’s story beautifully portrays rural life and magical elements. Nithya Menen, Arun Vijay, Rajkiran, Sathyaraj, and Prakash Raj also play key roles in the film. The music is composed by GV Prakash Kumar. Audiences believe that Dhanush has effectively captured the simplicity and magic of the rural setting through his acting and direction.
