Making its debut on December 25, the film “Max” made a spectacular entrance, earning the distinction of being the highest-grossing Kannada film of 2024 in just its opening year. By the end of its first week, it reached another milestone as the top-grossing Sandalwood film of the year. Leaning on the momentum of the highly anticipated trailer and the enormous fans base of Sudeep, the film’s pre-release buzz was palpable, and, to compound matters further, its Christmas release helped significantly enhance its box-office performance, establishing a strong groundwork for its success.
Interestingly, Max maintained its impressive box office numbers on its second day, contradicting the anticipated mid-week downturn, particularly on a weekday. Jointly produced by Kalaippuli S. Thanu under V Creations and Kiccha Sudeep under Kichcha Creations, the movie is currently vying with Upendra Rao’s UI at the Karnataka box office. Released five days prior, UI, a science fiction dystopian film, initially performed well, but its momentum has now slowed down due to Max’s marked success.
Sudeep’s highly anticipated return to leading roles is marked by his starring role in Max, almost two years after his last major film, Vikrant Rona (2022). He also appeared in a cameo in Upendra Rao’s Kabzaa (2023). Following holiday season will likely bring more success to Max as increasing word-of-mouth helps its popularity.
With a captivating narrative and Sudeep’s impressive on-screen presence, the film Max is an ode to the excellence of Sandalwood cinema, further cementing Kiccha Sudeep’s status as a leading star in the industry.
