The pre-release buzz was somewhat underwhelming for a sequel movie, and the reason for a mid buzz is the team’s low-profile promotions. If the production house, Hombale Films, had released proper promotional content, like songs and mini teasers, it would have had solid buzz.
Nevertheless, Rishab Shetty’s spiritual action drama Kantara Chapter 1 is emerging as one of the massive blockbusters, as it became the 16th film to cross the 500 Cr gross mark in India.
The trade expects the film to utilize the Diwali festival days and mint as much money as it can.
