Idli Kadai, the latest film starring Dhanush, premiered on 1st October, while Rishab Shetty’s highly anticipated spiritual action drama, Kantara Chapter 1, hit the screens on 2nd October. Currently, the Kannada film is outperforming Idli Kadai in Tamil Nadu.
In Tamil Nadu initially the exhibitors gave big screens and maximum shows to Dhanush’s film, as it is their own language film and Red Giant Films distributed it.
Idli Kadai shows have decreased in Tamil Nadu as Kantara Chapter 1 continues to dominate
But from the weekend onwards, Rishab Shetty’s film started taking the lead over Dhanush’s directorial, and after the weekend, the lead got much bigger. Now Kantara Chapter 1 is doing almost double the numbers of Idli Kadai in Tamil Nadu.
Idli Kadai’s 1st week gross in Tamil Nadu is around 41 Cr, while the Kantara prequel’s 6-day Tamil Nadu gross is around 32 Cr. Kantara Chapter 1 is set to maintain a strong lead over Idli Kadai in this trend throughout its full run.
