Mega Prince Varun Tej has every reason to celebrate as Korean Kanakaraju has achieved a crucial milestone within its first weekend. The horror-comedy has entered the profit zone across all territories in remarkably quick time, underlining both Varun Tej’s box-office stamina and the strong potential of the content.

The film has grossed 37.4 Cr+ worldwide in its first weekend and is steadily marching towards the $500K mark in the USA. What makes its box-office performance particularly impressive is the consistent growth in collections over the weekend.

After opening to good numbers on Day 1, the film witnessed an improvement on Day 2, while Day 3 delivered an even stronger performance. The upward trend indicates that Korean Kanakaraju is gaining momentum with each passing day rather than witnessing the usual post-release drop.

Directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, the horror-comedy entertainer is also benefiting from the refreshing combination of Varun Tej and Satya, whose comic chemistry has emerged as one of the film’s major attractions.

The immediate outlook remains highly promising, particularly in the Nizam region. With the Bonalu holiday on Monday expected to bring additional crowds and encouraging advance bookings already in place, the film is poised to continue its impressive run.

Trade circles are optimistic about the film’s prospects and are predicting a long and successful theatrical run for Korean Kanakaraju.
