After a promising start at the box office, Dulquer Salmaan's latest film Kaantha has witnessed a significant drop in revenue after three days. While it started out at Rs 10 crores worldwide, it earned around Rs 4.35 crores in India on day 1. On day 2, the collections slightly improved, with the film earning Rs 5 crore and on the third day, it saw a dip in collections, adding around Rs 4.35 crore. After its first weekend, Kaantha's revenue has come down earning just over a crore on its fourth day, according to Sacnilk. Overall, the film has now minted Rs 15.50 crore in India. Worldwide, the film has earned close to Rs 25 crore.

A period mystery drama, Kaantha, directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, is inspired by the rise and fall of MK Thyagaraja Bhagavathar, who was widely regarded as Tamil cinema's first superstar. Upon release on November 14, the film was met with mostly positive reviews. Kaantha also stars Samuthirakani, Bhagyashri Borse and Rana Daggubati in prominent roles.

Our CE review of the film read, "While we feel enamoured by the visual grandeur of this world, one can’t help but feel a sense of exhaustion from the world-building that might even make one forget that the film began with a murder. Kaantha goes to so many places that the cold-blooded murder gets buried under the visual and aural splendour, and performances that you can’t take your eyes off."

Kaantha also features Ravindra Vijay, Nizhalgal Ravi, and Bagavathi Perumal in key roles. The film is jointly produced by Rana Daggubati and Dulquer Salmaan under their Spirit Media and Wayfarer Films banners respectively. Kaantha marks a comeback into Tamil cinema for Dulquer after 2022's Hey Sinamika.

The film's technical team includes cinematographer Dani Sanchez Lopez, editor Llewellyn Anthony Gonsalvez, composer Jhanu Chanthar, and art director Ramalingam. Thamizh Prabha serves as its additional dialogue writer and story consultant, as well as additional screenwriter along with Sri Harsha Rameshwaram.
