Rishab Shetty’s Kantara has been doing some sensational business in the Hindi markets and is showing no signs of stopping. The movie is trending better than some of the mainstream Bollywood star heroes’ new releases like Akshay Kumar’s Ram Setu and Ajay Devgn’s Thank God.
Considering the release conditions of Kantara and Pushpa: The Rise, it is safe to say that Kantara is definitely the bigger hit. At the time of Pushpa’s release, there was hardly any competition in the Hindi markets and there was no major Hindi film for 45-50 days. All the planned releases were postponed due to COVID and Pushpa benefited from being the only release in theatres. As a result, Pushpa posted incredible numbers in the North belt. After adding some hyped up numbers, the film finally crossed 100 crores in nett collections.
On the other hand, Kantara is a very small film that had no promotions in Hindi. There were no original plans of releasing it in Hindi as well. It was dubbed and released in Hindi due to popular demand. Despite the release of two star hero films, the film has collected 43 crores in nett collections so far. And it is on track to collect 75+ crores in its full run or even 100 crores. Considering the situations, Kantara is a bigger success than Pushpa in the Hindi belts.
