Summary: Box Office Collection for ‘Kushi’: Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Vijay Deverakonda’s Telugu film shows Sunday growth, accumulating approximately rupees 11 crore net in India.

Kushi earned approximately ₹11 crore nett in India across all languages on Sunday. The film's Friday opening resulted in ₹15.25 crore nett, with ₹14.7 crore in Telugu and ₹55 lakhs in Tamil. On Saturday, there was a 35.08 percent drop, leading to ₹9.9 crore nett across all languages, including ₹9.25 crore in Telugu and ₹65 lakhs in Tamil. Early estimates indicate the film has now reached a total of ₹36.15 crore nett in India across all languages.

"Kushi" hit the screens on September 1 and received a blend of reviews. The movie follows the story of Vijay's Viplav and Samantha's Aradhya, who marry against their parents' wishes, subsequently encountering challenges in their relationship, including insecurities, jealousy, and other issues.

This romantic comedy, written and directed by Shiva Nirvana, also includes Sachin Khedekar, Saranya Ponvannan, and Murali Sharma in supporting roles. "Kushi" has been brought to the audience by Mythri Movie Makers.

On its third day, "Kushi" achieved a Telugu occupancy rate of 51.46 percent, while the Tamil occupancy stood at 46 percent. The afternoon shows exhibited the highest occupancies in both regions, surpassing 63 percent.

"Kushi" is now preparing for a significant challenge on Monday, a crucial day that will determine its fate. However, the path ahead won't be smooth for the Shiva Nirvana-directed film, as Shah Rukh Khan's "Jawan" is set for release on Thursday, September 7. The Atlee-directed movie will have an extensive release in both Tamil and Telugu languages and has already been gaining strong pre-release bookings.

In the aftermath of "Kushi's" release, Vijay Deverakonda, accompanied by his family, recently made a visit to the Yadadri Temple in Telangana. Vijay is also gearing up to share screen time with Sreeleela in Gowtam Tinnanuri's upcoming film, tentatively named VD 12.

Meanwhile, Samantha is set to appear in the Indian adaptation of the action series Citadel alongside Varun Dhawan. The series, created by Raj and DK, is slated to be available for streaming on Prime Video.
