Kantara Chapter 1 has a terrific third weekend at the box office. Despite new Diwali releases, the film is seeing phenomenal numbers. No one expected Kantara Chapter 1 to become 2025’s biggest grosser, as it had a moderate opening and initial expectations pegged its worldwide gross at around ₹600 Cr. However, the film has already crossed the ₹700 Cr mark globally, and as of today, it stands at ₹725 Cr.
With tomorrow and Tuesday being Diwali holidays, there is no doubt that it will cross the ₹800 Cr mark. The film could achieve this milestone within the next week, setting the record as 2025’s biggest grosser. If its strong performance continues, it may even reach the ₹850 Cr mark.
The film continues to earn from all five languages—a very encouraging sign. There are no other major releases left this year to challenge Kantara Chapter 1, and it is set to remain 2025’s biggest grosser.
