Kichcha Sudeep’s Max Struggles at the Box Office with Underwhelming Opening Weekend
Actor Kichcha Sudeep’s much-anticipated film, Max, hit theatres on Christmas Day, December 25. Directed by Karthikeyaa, the action thriller delivers intense action sequences but has received mixed feedback from audiences and critics alike.
The netizens have praised Max for its high-octane action, Sudeep’s powerful performance, and his swag-filled entry. Many have called the movie a “blockbuster” and lauded the return of Kichcha Sudeep after a two-year hiatus.
However, a section of the audience has criticized the script, stating that it lacks emotional depth and relies too heavily on over-the-top action sequences. Some fans have suggested that Sudeep should collaborate with more seasoned directors to enhance the narrative quality of his projects.
Max is expected to have a strong opening day. According to early estimates from Sacnilk, the film’s Kannada version has earned around ₹4.22 crore in India on its release day. The total collection across all languages is projected to be approximately ₹10 crore.
Kichcha Sudeep plays the role of Inspector Arjun Mahakshay, popularly known as Max. After a two-month suspension, Max is assigned to a new police station, where he encounters an unexpected situation that requires him to use force within a critical 12-hour timeframe.
The film features an ensemble cast, including:
Despite mixed reviews, Max has managed to draw significant attention and is likely to perform well in Karnataka and other regions. With Sudeep’s commanding presence and action-packed sequences, the film is expected to appeal to fans of the genre while sparking discussions about its narrative depth.
As the first-day collections roll in, it remains to be seen whether Max can sustain its momentum and achieve long-term box office success.
