By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 17 Aug 2026 3:32 PM ISTMega Prince Varun Tej’s latest film Korean Kanakaraju is continuing its strong run at the box office. The horror-comedy entertainer has now crossed an important milestone by earning more than ₹50 crore worldwide in just 10 days.
Directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, the movie was produced by UV Creations and First Frame Entertainments. The film has managed to maintain good momentum even after completing its first week in theatres. Its collections received an additional boost during the extended Independence Day holiday period.
According to the latest reports, Korean Kanakaraju has collected over ₹50.30 crore gross worldwide in 10 days. The makers are happy with the steady performance of the movie, especially because the film has continued to attract audiences during its second week.
Another major positive for the team is that the movie has reportedly entered the profit zone in all territories. The film is said to have reached its breakeven point during the first weekend itself. Since then, the collections have been contributing to profits for the producers, distributors and exhibitors.
The audience response to the movie’s entertainment factor has played an important role in its success. The film combines horror elements with comedy and has been receiving attention for its light-hearted presentation. The comedy scenes have especially connected well with many viewers.
Varun Tej’s performance is another highlight of the movie. The actor has appeared in a different kind of role and has brought his own style to the character. His combination with the supporting cast has added more fun to the overall experience.
Comedian Satya has also received appreciation for his timing and comedy scenes. His presence has helped strengthen the entertaining side of the movie and has become one of the talking points among audiences.
The team has also continued promoting the film even after its release. These promotional activities have helped keep the movie in the news and encouraged more people to watch it in theatres.
With the second week showing decent occupancy, Korean Kanakaraju is expected to add more money to its worldwide total in the coming days. If the current trend continues, the film could achieve an even stronger final theatrical figure.
For Varun Tej, the film’s steady box-office journey has become an encouraging development. Crossing the ₹50 crore mark within 10 days has given the team another reason to celebrate. Now, all eyes are on how much higher the movie can go in the remaining theatrical run.
