On the day of the release of Anushka Shetty starrer, September 7, Kushi minted ₹0.75 crore at the domestic box office. On the second day of Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty’s theatrical run, Kushi was able to churn only ₹0.45 crore, as per Sacnilk. This is the film’s lowest collection on a particular day since its release. 

Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Vijay Deverakonda deliver another flop? 

Kushi marks a critical film for both Samantha and Vijay Deverakonda. The previous outings of both the actors Shaakuntalam and Liger, respectively failed to perform well at the box office. Kushi, however, has held a steady business and became the career-best opener for both the lead actors. The movie has amassed a total of ₹41.97 crore and is slowly inching towards breaching the ₹50 crore mark.
