Ekka, the much-awaited Kannada action drama starring Yuva Rajkumar, had a solid start at the box office. On its first day, Ekka earned over ₹1.60 crore, according to early reports from Sacnilk. The movie released on 18 July, and fans came out in full support.
Directed by Rohit Padaki, Ekka delivers what fans of mass action films love. It has powerful action scenes, emotional moments, and a gripping story. The film has received a good response across Karnataka, showing that the audience is connecting with it.
The film’s overall Kannada occupancy on Day 1 stood at 40.20%, with night shows hitting a strong 57.28%. Morning shows started slow at 29.27%, but picked up in the afternoon and evening. This steady rise shows that word of mouth is working in the film’s favour.
Yuva Rajkumar, from the legendary Rajkumar family, impressed everyone. His performance, action timing, and screen presence have already earned him praise. Many fans believe he is the next big star of Kannada cinema. One user on X said, “@yuva_rajkumar delivers a banger performance – action, emotion, and screen presence are all next level.”
The story of Ekka follows Muttu, a small-town guy who reaches Bengaluru to find his missing friend Ramesh. But his simple search turns into a dangerous journey. He gets pulled into the criminal world of the city and faces life-changing decisions. The film’s mix of action and emotion makes it appealing to all kinds of viewers.
Aditya plays an intense police officer, and his performance adds depth to the film. Actresses Sanjana Anand and Sampada Hulivana also play key roles and support the story well.
The team behind Ekka has succeeded in giving a strong theatrical experience. With such a good start, the movie looks set to have a great run at the box office. The action, mass appeal, and local flavour make it a perfect weekend watch.
If Ekka keeps this momentum, it could become one of the big Kannada hits of 2025.
