Mark Vs 45 Collection Day 3 Early Update: Kichcha Vs Shiva Weekend CLASH; WHO Is Winning Saturday Number Game?

Mark Vs 45 Box Office Collection Day 3 Early Updates: Christmas 2025 turned into a grand cinematic battlefield for the Kannada film industry, as two of the most anticipated releases - Mark and 45 - arrived in theatres on the same festive weekend. The high-voltage box office clash instantly set Sandalwood abuzz, with fans divided and social media lighting up with comparisons, reviews, and fan wars.

On one side stood Kichcha Sudeep, bringing his trademark intensity to the action-packed thriller Mark. On the other hand, a powerful ensemble featuring Shiva Rajkumar, Upendra Rao, and Raj B. Shetty raised the stakes with 45, a visually ambitious Kannada-language fantasy action film. The clash wasn't just between two films - it was a collision of genres, star power, and storytelling styles.

Directed by Vijay Kartikeyaa, Mark promises a gritty, edge-of-the-seat cinematic experience. Packed with stylised action, high drama, and Kichcha Sudeep's commanding screen presence, the film caters to audiences who crave fast-paced thrillers with mass appeal. The buzz around Mark had been building steadily even before release, with teasers and posters hinting at a dark, intense narrative that plays to the star's strengths.

The action thriller opened strong with an impressive ₹8.6 crore on Day 1, and maintained its momentum to rake in ₹12.10 crore within the first two days of release. Riding high on opening-weekend excitement, the film has emerged as a clear crowd-puller.

As per early figures reported by Sacnilk, the film continues to post solid numbers. On December 27, Mark had already collected around ₹1.46 crore by 4:30 PM, indicating steady footfalls through the day. With these latest additions, the film's total box office haul is currently estimated at approximately ₹13.56 crore, and the numbers are expected to climb further as the weekend progresses.

In contrast, 45 offers a completely different flavour. Marking the directorial debut of celebrated music composer Arjun Janya, the film steps into the fantasy-action space - a genre less explored in mainstream Kannada cinema. With a strong cast and a concept-driven storyline, 45 aims to blend spectacle with emotion, drawing viewers who enjoy larger-than-life storytelling and visual imagination.

On the other side of the festive clash, 45 opened to a respectable start at the box office, collecting ₹5.5 crore on its release day. However, the film witnessed a noticeable dip on Day 2 (Friday), managing to add only ₹2 crore, which pushed its two-day total to ₹7.5 crore.

Despite the slowdown, 45 has shown signs of resilience at the ticket counters today. By 4:30 PM, the film had earned around ₹78 lakh, taking its overall box office collection to an estimated ₹8.21 crore so far. While the competition remains intense, the fantasy actioner is still holding its ground as the weekend unfolds.
