Varun Tej’s horror-comedy Korean Kanakaraju is continuing its steady run at the box office, recording a strong comeback in its second weekend. The film witnessed an impressive 131.9% jump in collections on its second Saturday, reflecting sustained audience interest and positive word of mouth.
Released on August 7, 2026, the film has emerged as a successful commercial outing for Varun Tej. After recovering its theatrical investment within the first three days of release, the film has continued to attract family audiences and is now closing in on the ₹30 crore worldwide gross mark.
According to the latest box office figures, Korean Kanakaraju has collected ₹21.30 crore India net, while its worldwide gross stands at approximately ₹29.77 crore after nine days. The film earned around ₹1.60 crore on its second Saturday, a significant increase from the previous day’s ₹0.69 crore, giving its theatrical run fresh momentum.
The horror-comedy has maintained a stable performance thanks to its entertaining blend of supernatural elements and comedy. Varun Tej’s performance, along with the comic timing of Satya and VTV Ganesh, has been widely appreciated by audiences. Positive family audience response and favourable word of mouth have helped the film remain consistent despite the usual weekday slowdown.
Produced by UV Creations, the film has already entered the profit zone and is expected to continue its successful run over the coming days. Trade expectations are now focused on whether Korean Kanakaraju can comfortably cross the ₹30 crore mark and continue its momentum toward an even stronger lifetime total.
