Dude 1st Weekend Box Office: Pradeep Ranganathan’s Career Biggest

Dude had an excellent first weekend at the box office. In the Telugu states, the movie crossed double-digit gross collections, and worldwide it surpassed ₹50 Cr gross. It marks the biggest weekend for Pradeep Ranganathan so far.

Film by film, Pradeep Ranganathan is emerging as a major star. Dude did not even have a solo release— in Tamil, it released alongside Bison and Diesel, yet Kantara Chapter 1 is still running successfully and seeing very big collections. In Telugu, it released alongside K Ramp, Mithra Mandali, and Telusu Kada, but it remains the top grosser in the Telugu states for the weekend.

With tomorrow and Tuesday being holidays, and Diwali being a major festival in Tamil Nadu, there is no doubt that the film will enter the ₹100 Cr club. Pradeep Ranganathan is all set to score a hat-trick of ₹100 Cr grossers. How it holds after Diwali will determine whether it can surpass Dragon Fullrun in total collections or not.”

Kantara Chapter 1 unstoppable, all set for 2025 box office crown

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.

Kantara Chapter 1 Becomes 17th Film to Gross 50 Cr In Kerala

Getting big numbers from Kerala is not an easy task. Films like RRR and Pushpa 2, which saw massive numbers in other languages, did not perform as strongly in Kerala. Kantara Chapter 1 succeeded in achieving big numbers here, even crossing the 50 Cr gross mark.

Kantara Chapter 1 is the 17th film in Kerala to cross ₹50 Cr gross, and the 5th non-Malayalam film to achieve this feat

Diwali Box Office: Dude First, K-Ramp Second

For Diwali, four films released for Telugu audiences: Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude, Kiran Abbavaram’s K Ramp, Siddhu’s Telusu Kada, and Priyadarshi’s Mithra Mandali. Among these, in terms of ratings and word of mouth, Dude takes the first place, K Ramp comes second, Telusu Kada ranks third, and Mithra Mandali is fourth. The box office numbers are also reflecting the same trend.

Dude is seeing the highest collections among Telugu states for the Diwali releases. Today, the film crossed double-digit gross. With a breakeven set at 20 Cr gross, with today it is set to recover around 50% of the investments. With Diwali holidays continuing over the next two days, the film is expected to easily achieve the breakeven mark.

K-Ramp opened with decent collections, and on Day 2 it witnessed a good jump over the opening day. The breakeven is around 6.5 Cr share in Telugu states, and looking at the current trend, it is likely to reach this within the first week itself.

Telusu Kada is seeing some traction in urban centers, but in mass areas, the numbers are very low. While it was the biggest business film among Diwali releases in terms of collection-wise it ranks third. Achieving breakeven seems very challenging for the film at this pace.

Mithra Mandali is an outright disaster, failing to achieve even respectable numbers. Audiences are showing minimal interest in the film due to disastrous word of mouth and poor reviews.

Worldwide, the film has collected over 700 Cr gross so far and is set for a rampage during the Diwali festival weekend. It is expected to cross the 800 Cr mark in its full run.

Star actress Keerthy Suresh’s marriage took place last December. After her marriage, she did not get many big projects. However, now she is grabbing exciting films, mainly in Dil Raju’s productions.

Dil Raju is producing a film with Vijay Devarakonda, directed by Ravi Kiran, titled Rowdy Janardhan. The film’s pooja ceremony was recently held, and Keerthy Suresh is playing the lead actress.

After this film, she is in talks for another exciting project under dilraju productions with a strong female character. Balagam director Venu has prepared a very strong and rooted story titled Yellamma. The project was initially planned with Nani, and after several changes in the male lead, it is now in final talks with Devi Sri Prasad for the music.

Earlier, there were reports that the team planned to cast Sai Pallavi, but now discussions are underway with Keerthy Suresh. This is definitely a film where Keerthy Suresh is expected to showcase her best performance again.

Kantara Chapter 1 Joins 700 Cr Club Worldwide and 500 Cr Nett in India

Kantara Chapter 1 is having a strong third weekend at the box office. The film is continuously achieving benchmarks at the box office with a strong run. It has already surpassed the trade’s initial expectations for lifetime gross

Kantara Chapter 1 Hits 700 Cr

On its 17th day, the film achieved two major milestones — it joined the 500 Cr nett club in India and the 700 Cr club worldwide. The film now stands as the 15th all-time biggest Indian grosser worldwide and the 12th Indian film to cross 500 Cr nett in India.

In South Indian cinema, Kantara Chapter 1 ranks as the 6th biggest grosser worldwide, following Baahubali 2, Pushpa 2, RRR, KGF 2, and Kalki 2898 AD. Across all five languages — Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam — the film is performing exceptionally well at the box office. In Karnataka, it has already become the biggest grosser of all time and the first film to cross 200 Cr in the state.

The film is seeing a noticeable jump this weekend and is expected to continue its strong run till Diwali. It now needs another 100 Cr to surpass Chhaava (800 Cr collections) and become 2025’s biggest grosser. However, it faces some challenges with screen count this Diwali weekend due to new releases in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi.

In the South versions, the film managed to come close to KGF 2’s collections. In Kannada, it performed even better than KGF 2. However, in the Hindi version, KGF 2 leads by a huge margin, which is the main reason Kantara Chapter 1 couldn’t enter the 1000 Cr club like KGF 2. The film’s weak pre-release buzz also affected its performance in a big way. Still collecting more than 700 Cr collection is a huge achievement and a jackpot for Hombale Films again.
