Kara, starring Dhanush and Mamitha Baiju in the lead roles, added Rs. 1.85 crore to the tally on its Day 7 (Wednesday). The movie registered a drop of 15 per cent from Tuesday, which was already low. 

Allied to its first extended weekend of Rs. 27.50 crore, the running cume of Kara reached Rs. 33.50 crore gross at the Indian box office. It will close its opening week around Rs. 35 crore gross. That will be an underwhelming opening week for a Dhanush starrer.

It is looking to wind up its entire theatrical run around Rs. 40 crore gross at the Indian box office. That said, Kara is heading to bag a flop verdict.

For the unversed, the film follows the story of a man named Karasamy, a reformed thief, set against the backdrop of the Gulf War between the USA and Iraq. Due to the tense circumstances, he is forced to return to crime to reclaim his mortgaged ancestral land and fulfil his father’s final wish.

Alongside Dhanush and Mamitha Baiju, the film features KS Ravikumar, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Karunaas, and Jayaram in key roles.
