Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 saw a good jump in its collections yesterday and started the fourth weekend on a strong note. Today, the film joins the 800 Cr gross club as well and becomes the biggest grosser of 2025 by beating Chhaava.
The spiritual action drama is expected to do another 50 Cr from here. This is a sensational performance and beyond the trade’s expectations.
As said above, Kantar Chapter 1 witnessed a good jump in the Saturday collections, and the film will also join the 200 Cr net club in Hindi in India. Compared to the South version performance, this is not such a big number, but it is still decent.
The Hindi version’s performance is the main reason for the film not achieving the 1000 Cr milestone at the worldwide box office.
Produced by Hombale Films, the Kantara prequel did extraordinary numbers in Karnataka, and it also achieved the all-time biggest grosser record.
Coming to the Telugu states, the film crossed the 100 Cr gross mark, while it gathered 65 Cr in Tamil Nadu and close to 55 Cr in Kerala. This is an extraordinary collection, and even overseas, the South versions did very well, but Hindi numbers were disappointing.
