Dhanush’s Tamil heist action thriller Kara is in a tough spot at the Indian box office. Vignesh Raja’s directorial could not pass the first Monday test, dropping below the two crore mark. It is made on a humongous budget of 100 crore, which further amplifies the risks. Scroll below for the day 5 report!
Kara Box Office Collection Day 5
According to Sacnilk, Kara earned 1.8 crore net on day 5, including the Tamil and Telugu versions. It witnessed a 71% drop compared to 5 crore garnered on the first Sunday. There’s been a steady decline in collection, suggesting the audience has rejected the film.
The total box office collection in India reaches 25.15 crore net after 5 days. Including GST, the gross total stands at 29.67 crore. As mentioned earlier, Kara is made on a budget of 100 crore. It has only recovered 25% of the total investments so far. Mamitha Baiju co-starrer has emerged as a major disappointment.

- Day 2 – 6.95 crore
- Day 3 – 5.2 crore
- Day 4 – 5 crore
- Day 5 – 1.8 crore
Total – 25.15 crore
