Kadaknath is a Gujarati folk crime thriller that released on 26 June 2026. Directed and written by Kaushik Garasiya, the film stars Abhinay Banker, Denisha Ghumra, Nirav Bhabhor, Nisarg Trivedi and Chetan Daiya in key roles. The story is set in the tribal region of Gujarat and incorporates local dialect and folklore elements. The film opened to a very quiet response at the box office.
Index
Being a small scale production with limited star power and almost no pre-release hype, it received very minimal screen allocation across Gujarat. The opening day collections were extremely low, and the film has shown almost no growth even after four days. There has been very little buzz around the film in the market, and it has failed to attract even a basic audience in most centres.

Our Review
Kadaknath is a folk crime thriller that attempts to blend mystery, fear, and cultural elements from Gujarat’s tribal regions. Directed by Kaushik Garasiya, the film uses the Bhili dialect and local folklore to create a unique atmosphere. It follows a poultry farmer who gets entangled in a series of grisly killings and mystical hallucinations. While the concept of a folk thriller rooted in Gujarat’s culture is interesting and different from regular commercial Gujarati cinema, the film has failed to generate any significant pre-release excitement or curiosity among audiences.
At the box office, Kadaknath has opened to a very poor response. Early reports suggest extremely low occupancy across most theatres in Gujarat, which clearly shows that the film has not managed to connect with viewers even on its opening day. In a week filled with bigger releases from other industries, it is struggling to stand out and attract footfalls. For a film that relies on content and cultural uniqueness rather than star power, the initial numbers are highly disappointing.
Unless it receives exceptionally positive reviews and generates strong word-of-mouth in the coming days, it will find it very difficult to sustain in theatres. Compared to other recent Gujarati films that managed to create some buzz through strong content or effective promotion, Kadaknath appears to be missing that crucial connect. As of now, it is off to a very slow start and looks headed for a flop verdict unless there is a sudden and unexpected improvement over the weekend. The coming days will be decisive for the film’s theatrical run.
