About Kaantha

Set in 1950s Madras, the period drama is written and directed by Selvaraj Selvamani. It's about superstar actor TK Mahadevan (played by Dulquer Salmaan) and director Ayya (played by Samuthirakani), who mentored the former. The tale of art, ambition and rivalry shows the ego-driven clash between these two artistic giants.

Kaantha is jointly produced by Salmaan and Daggubati under Wayfarer Films and Spirit Media

Kaantha box office

Kaantha, which is reportedly made on a budget of Rs 40 crore, ended its theatrical run with a worldwide gross collection of Rs 35-40 crore.

An excerpt from Outlook India's review on Kaantha reads: "Kaantha’s first half is captivating, inviting viewers into the shimmering nostalgia of reel-filled corridors and clattering editing tables. Yet its extended black-and-white sequences test patience. They aim to deepen immersion but often resemble ornamental showreels disconnected from the tense drama simmering beneath. When the second half slows down gradually, the shift is rather jarring. The murder mystery hopes to elevate the stakes, though it thoroughly tends to elbow aside the emotional thread."
