Sincere Appeal from Kantara Producers

Hombale Films, the production house of Kantara Chapter 1 has shared a heartfelt message with audiences worldwide, asking everyone to respect the spiritual tradition of Dhaivaradhane, which is deeply rooted in the culture of Tulunadu, Karnataka.

Their films Kantara and Kantara Chapter 1 were made to honor and showcase the devotion to the Daivas with sincerity and care.

While the team is thankful for the overwhelming support, they have noticed some people imitating Daiva characters from the film in public places, which is disrespectful. Dhaivaradhane is a sacred practice, not meant for casual performance or mimicry. Such actions hurt the sentiments of the Tulu community.

The production house of Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1, Hombale Films strongly requests the public to avoid imitating or mocking these portrayals. They urge everyone to protect the dignity of this tradition and help preserve its cultural and spiritual value.

Jana Nayagan Release in Doubt?

Tamil hero Vijay’s Jana Nayagan was officially announced for a 9th January release. The team had also planned to release a single last week, but due to the Karur stampede, they canceled the update. Now, there are rumors that the release of Jana Nayagan itself is in doubt.

The latest buzz in Tamil circles hints that Vijay’s Jana Nayagan’s release is in doubt if the controversy or case surrounding the Karur Stampede isn’t resolved this month.

It is clear that Vijay or the movie’s cannot do any promotions until Vijay’s party – Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) or his name gets cleared from the stampede incident.

However, the closed sources to the production house deny these rumors and say that they are confident to release the film on 9th January without any issues or delays and promotions will start from November.

But we have to wait for a few more days to be sure about anything as in politics any issue can be escalated to a bigger extent.

Kantara Chapter 1 Smashes 400 Cr Mark

Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 continues to show strong hold at the box office after an impressive opening weekend. Today, the film celebrates two major milestones: entering the 400 Cr club and surpassing the collections of the first part, Kantara (2022).

The first part collected around 400 crore gross, and the figure has been crossed by chapter 1. The film needs to hold the same strong momentum, and a big jump on weekends is needed to become the biggest grosser of 2025. 

Kantara Chapter 1 Full Run estimates stand at 700 Cr

Kantara Chapter 1 is maintaining a strong hold at the box office after its first weekend, surpassing 400 Cr. While reaching the 1000 Cr mark seems unlikely, current trade estimates suggest a maximum closing figure of around 700 Cr.

But if the film maintains strong legs at the box office with solid jumps during the weekends, there is some possibility to go to 800 Cr. Chhaava, with 800 Cr gross, is the biggest grosser of 2025, and Rishab Shetty’s Kantara prequel needs to aim for it.

Devara, OG USA Trend: From Bumper Openings to Average Run

The USA run of NTR’s Devara and Pawan Kalyan’s OG is similar from opening to full run. Both the films had bumper openings, but the afterward run is average. 

During the USA premieres, Devara and OG opened bigger than Baahubali 2 and Salaar and went closer to Pushpa 2, RRR, and Kalki. But in the long run the films did not see much bigger numbers.

Devara opened with $2.8M in premieres and ended up with $6.07M, with the Telugu version grossing $5.5M. The premiere number is slightly higher than Day 1 to closing. Definitely $5.5M is a big number, but for such a massive start, it could have at least done $7M in the full run.

The same with OG, as it opens much bigger than Devara with $3.1M, but the final run is likely to be around the Telugu version of NTR’s film. The Premier’s number is much higher from day 1 to closing numbers, and if we compare the long run, its trend is weaker than Devara’s.

Overall, Pawan Kalyan’s OG and NTR’s Devara were huge blockbusters in America and gave huge profits for the makers, but their overall numbers are a bit disappointing.

OG Settles for 13th in Middle East

Pawan Kalyan’s OG has done remarkably well at the overseas box office. Its genre and the massive reach of the teaser played a key role in driving higher numbers. OG wraps up its Middle East Box Office run as the 13th highest-grossing film.

Directed by Sujeeth, the film did not have much support from additional languages, and that is why the closing number, 450K+, is a decent number for the film.

Top 15 Tollywood Middle East Grossers

  • 1 Baahubali 2 $10.31M
  • 2 Pushpa 2 $5.70M
  • 3 RRR Movie $4.72M
  • 4 Kalki 2898 AD $4.25M
  • 5 Saaho $2.8M
  • 6 Salaar $2.8M
  • 7 Baahubali ~$1.7M
  • 8 Lucky Baskhar $1.4M
  • 9 Pushpa The Rise $1.03M
  • 10 Adipurush ~$0.90M
  • 11 Devara $0.81M
  • 12 Khaidi No 150 $520K
  • 13 They Call Him OG $457K
  • 14 Bharat Ane Nenu $445K
  • 15 Spyder $420K

But if we compare the USA numbers, it’s a bit disappointing. Nonetheless, Pawan Kalyan’s OG ends its Middle East run with achieving the 13th position in the overall highest grossers list, and for the rights valued, it is a profitable venture.

The film collected 280 Cr gross worldwide for 11 days, and it is expected to have a decent run till the Diwali festival.
