Kantara Chapter 1’s Telugu states’ release was done on an advance basis. It’s a producer’s own release, and Hombale Films always does business likewise. They believed in the content and took the entire theatrical risk, which continuously does wonders for them.
In Telugu states, Kantara Chapter 1 opens with 15 Cr gross and a double-digit share, including GST. Today also the film starts on a very strong note. With this the film will easily do over 50 Cr gross on the 1st weekend.
With positive WOM and reviews, the film certainly has a strong chance of grossing over 100 Cr in the long run. However, whether it reaches close to 150 Cr will depend on the jump it sees this weekend and how well it holds afterward.
Telugu States Box Office: Can Kantara Chapter 1 Reach KGF-2?
As of now the trend is very good and strong for Rishab Shetty’s spiritual action drama, which is all set to join one of the biggest revenue films in Telugu states among dubbed releases.
KGF-2 collected around 150 Cr gross in Telugu, and whether Kantara can go to that range is still debatable, but 100 Cr gross looks like a sure shot possibility.
