Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 is performing exceptionally well in South India right from the start, and now the spiritual action drama takes the lead over Dhanush’s Idli Kadai in Tamil Nadu.
For Idli Kadai, most of the numbers are coming from Tamil Nadu only, and the movie’s target market is also the same. For 3 days Idly Kadai has collected 25 Cr gross, while Kantar’s prequel collected 11 Cr gross in 2 days.
Kantara Chapter 1 dominates Dhanush’s Film in Tamil Nadu
Surprisingly, on Saturday, Kantara Chapter 1 takes over Idly Kadai in Tamil Nadu. While the Dhanush directorial continues to maintain strong collections, the Rishab Shetty directorial is showing better occupancy rates. Trade expects that the film’s collections will grow further on Saturday and Sunday.
Also, Kantara’s prequel needs such huge trends, as the movie’s theatrical rights are sold at 32 Cr. So, to achieve the breakeven, it needs to collect more than 60 Cr gross, and that is why it needs to continue the strong run at the box office, at least for 2 weeks.
