Police Complaint Movie Box Office Collection

Police Complaint is a Kannada/Telugu crime suspense thriller film that released in theatres on 12 June 2026 starring Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Naveen Chandra and Ragini Dwivedi in lead roles. The film opened with a very poor response across Karnataka and Telugu states and had almost no presence in other regions.

It failed to create any significant buzz or advance bookings, resulting in one of the weakest openings for a mid-budget thriller in 2026. Worldwide, Police Complaint had a negligible start with almost zero overseas collections.

The film has struggled to find an audience and is performing very poorly at the box office. It is clearly heading towards a disaster verdict with almost no theatrical traction.

Our Review

Police Complaint attempts to blend horror and investigative thriller elements by centering on a chilling murder case linked to black magic rituals and the subsequent police probe that peels back layers of deception and supernatural undertones. Varalaxmi Sarathkumar plays the determined police officer navigating a complex web of karma, consequence and hidden truths, while Naveen Chandra supports in a key role.

The premise offers potential for tension and scares, especially in the rural or ritualistic settings that horror thrillers often exploit effectively in Telugu cinema. However, the film’s pre-release phase was overshadowed by public allegations from the director regarding the lead actress skipping promotions, which has created a cloud of negative publicity. This controversy risks overshadowing the content itself, as audiences may approach the film with divided attention rather than pure curiosity about the story.

From a box office perspective, Police Complaint has opened to very modest numbers, which is not entirely surprising for a mid-scale regional thriller carrying promotional baggage. In the current market, where even mid-budget films need strong word-of-mouth and clean pre-release campaigns to gain traction, the controversy appears to have diluted initial interest. Compared to other recent Telugu horror or suspense thrillers, this one needed robust marketing to stand out, but the internal issues seem to have hampered that momentum.

If the film delivers genuine scares, solid suspense and a gripping investigation, there is still a slim chance for it to find some audience in the coming days through positive reviews and recommendations. However, with the opening being this low, it will require exceptional word-of-mouth to avoid a quick fade-out from theatres. For now, it remains a film whose theatrical prospects look challenging, though it may find better reception later on digital platforms where content can sometimes overcome pre-release noise.
