According to Sacnilk, the film collected an estimated ₹0.83 crore net in India on Day 11, a 77.6% decline from the ₹3.70 crore it earned on Day 10, a trend common for many theatrical releases after a weekend run.
By the end of Day 11, the movie’s domestic net total reached ₹31.91 crore, while its gross stood at ₹36.64 crore. Overseas markets have added another ₹7.95 crore, bringing the worldwide gross to ₹44.59 crore. The latest figures indicate a steep fall from Sunday’s performance, with the Monday business dropping below the ₹1 crore mark.
Gatta Kusthi 2 opened with a solid ₹2.70 crore on its first Friday and saw healthy growth over the opening weekend, collecting ₹4.95 crore on Saturday and ₹6.20 crore on Sunday. The first weekend’s total helped the film finish the week with a net of ₹22.10 crore. The second weekend added another boost, with earnings of ₹1.85 crore on Friday, ₹3.43 crore on Saturday and ₹3.70 crore on Sunday.
The sequel, written and directed by Chella Ayyavu, follows the story of a stay‑at‑home husband whose family life is challenged by misunderstandings and societal expectations. Vishnu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi lead the cast, supported by Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Karunas, Munishkanth, Kaali Venkat, Karunakaran, Zara and Mokksha.
