Manikarnika made Rs 18.10 crore on Saturday and Rs 15.70 crore on Sunday . However, on Day 4 and 5 (January 28 and 29) Manikarnika witnessed a sharp decline in earnings and collected only Rs 4.40 crore on Monday and Rs 3.35 crore on Tuesday. So far, the film has made an overall collection of Rs 51.40 crore.According to business analyst Taran Adarsh, the film may further slowdown at the box office in the second weekend. If the trend continues then Manikarnika might not even recover its budget of Rs 125 crore.

Additionally, makers of Manikarnika also got a blow as notorious piracy website Tamilrockers leaked the entire film online.
