Tamil film Kara, starring Dhanush in the lead role, took a modest opening at the Indian box office, earning Rs. Around 7.25 crores on opening day on Thursday. This is the lowest opening for a Dhanush starrer since Anai Noki Paayum Thota in 2019, which was a long time ago. Among recent films, the opening is low compared to films like Naane Varuven, which collected Rs. 8 crores in 2022, almost all of which were from the Tamil version, while there was also a Telugu version of the film.
Opening day in Tamil Nadu Rs. Was less than. 5 crores, which is very low for a star film, even more so when the second day is a holiday, and it generally helps the first day with promoting the evening shows. When the home state itself is of low standard then there is very little expectation from elsewhere.
It looks like the initial reception has been mixed, so it’s going to be a tough climb for the film. Despite today being a holiday, the advance amount is not higher than the opening day, which is not good. Cara can hope for a better walkup and then hold on into the weekend, although from this low start she will need more than that.
The regional details of the opening day box office for Kara in India are as follows:
| Area | grossS |
| Tamil Nadu | Rupee. 4.75 crores. |
| APTS | Rupee. 1.65 crores. |
| Karnataka | Rupee. 0.60 crore. |
| rest of india | Rupee. 0.20 crore. |
