Mark Vs 45 Box Office Collection Day 8: Kiccha Sudeep Film Wins The Race, Shivanna-Upendra Starrer Slows Down

Mark Vs 45 Box Office Collection Day 8: The Kannada film industry witnessed an interesting box office clash on Christmas 2025, with the Kiccha Sudeep film and the Shiva Rajkumar, Upendra and Raj B Shetty starrer releasing on the same day. However, as both the films completed 8 days at the theatres across the globe, Mark has reportedly emerged as the winner of the race, beating 45.

Mark Vs 45 Box Office Collection Day 8

As per the latest reports, Mark has been performing quite well at the worldwide box office. The Tamil release of the Kiccha Sudeep starrer has clearly boosted the film's global collection. The recent reports by Sacnilk suggests that the Vijay Karthikeyaa directorial has made a total net collection of ₹23.44 crore, from the first 8 days of its release.

45, on the other hand, has drastically slowed down at the worldwide box office, despite the film getting released in Telugu as well. The latest Sacnilk reports suggest that Shiva Rajkumar, Upendra, and Raj B Shetty's film has just made a gross collection of over ₹16 crore. Despite receiving decent reviews and featuring such a massive star cast, Arjun Janya's directorial debut has not been able to perform well at the box office.

Mark Vs 45 Box Office Collection: What Is Going Wrong?

Even though Mark has evidently won the race, it is clearly not an out-of-the-world collection for the film, which stars Kiccha Sudeep, who is one of the biggest stars of Kannada cinema, in the lead. But what baffled the industry more is the underperformance of 45, which features an outstanding star cast including superstar Shiva Rajkumar, Upendra, and Raj B Shetty.

The lack of effective marketing is the main reason why these films didn't receive the expected welcome from the viewers, especially in Karnataka. Well, it is now safe to suggest that Sandalwood audience is clearly expecting out-of-the-box yet entertaining films from their stars, instead of routine films.
