Mark, led by Kichcha Sudeep, is Vijay Karthikeyaa's directorial after Max. The film has completed two weeks in theatres and entered its third week with a cumulative gross of ₹51.30 crore. The Christmas release has shown consistent audience turnout, drawing largely from family viewers and regular cinema audiences.
The film has found acceptance for its combination of action-led sequences and emotional undercurrents, allowing it to connect with a broad segment of moviegoers. Audience feedback has highlighted its pacing and performances, which has helped sustain positive word-of-mouth through the first fourteen days. Several theatres have also seen repeat footfalls, particularly in key circuits.
Trade observers point out that maintaining steady collections after the opening phase has become increasingly challenging for theatrical releases. In that context, Mark’s ability to hold its ground into the third week reflects stable audience interest. Occupancy levels, especially in single-screen venues and mass pockets, continue to remain consistent rather than showing a sharp drop after the initial run.
Backed by Kichcha Creations and Sathya Jyothi Films, the film draws on Sudeep’s established rapport with audiences and the familiarity of the genre. Its box-office performance so far suggests a measured balance between commercial expectations and viewer engagement. The coming days will determine how well the film sustains its momentum.
Produced by Arjun Thyagarajan and Senthil Thyagarajan, Mark has music by Ajaneesh B Loknath and cinematography by Shekar Chandra. Along with Sudeep, the cast includes Naveen Chandra, Deepshika, Guru Somasundaram, Roshini Prakash, Archana Kottige, Dragon Manju, Gopalakrishna Deshpande, Mahantesh Hiremath, Yogi Babu, and Shine Tom Chacko, among others.
