Kantara Chapter 1 Eyes Karnataka’s 200 Cr Milestone

0

Kantara Chapter One is rocking in Karnataka, and it had a sensational opening weekend with close to 80 Cr. Today the film holds extraordinarily and will easily do double-digit gross collection. 

The trade expects the film to join the 100 Cr club by tomorrow itself, which will be the fastest ever for a Kannada film, making it an extraordinary feat. 

No film in Karnataka has collected 200 Cr gross, but Kantara Chapter 1 looks to break that, as today’s hold suggests that it is easily achievable, and if the hold continues, it could even target the 250 Cr milestone.

Undoubtedly for Kannada audiences Kantara is a bigger brand even than KGF. For other language audiences, KGF2 is bigger than Rishab Shetty’s spiritual action drama. The numbers of both films also reflect the same notion.

Kantara Chapter 1 Weekend Box Office Smashes KGF 2 in Karnataka

0

The first weekend box office performance of Rishab Shetty’s spiritual action drama, Kantara Chapter 1, is amazing, and the film smashes the record of Yash-Prashanth Neel’s KGF 2 in its homeland, Karnataka. 

Karnataka is the only territory where Kantara Chapter 1 is performing better than KGF 2. The second part of KGF collected around 75 Cr gross for the opening (4 days) weekend, whereas Kantara chapter 1 has collected close to 80 Cr gross and set an all-time record.

To date, no film has collected more than 200 Cr gross in Karnataka, and we need to wait and see whether the prequel of Kantara can achieve that magical number.

Today’s advance ticket sales in Karnataka are very good and indicate a strong run for the Rishab Shetty directorial. Let us see how the film’s run goes from now on.

Fans Eager for Baahubali 3

0

The Telugu Cinema fans were absolutely delighted when SS Rajamouli announced the re-release of Baahubali: The Epic (combining the two parts of the series), and all are eagerly waiting for Baahubali 3. 

Baahubali is the one series that changed the regional cinema into pan-Indian cinema and brought the franchise film trend. The massive film is also the starting point for Indian cinema to make big-budgetfilms with a multiple-part strategy.

Baahubali: The Epic Raises Curiosity on Baahubali 3

As said above, Baahubali: The Epic is releasing in theaters on 31st October, merging the two parts into a single part. Rajamouli and the team are continuously working on it, and multiple promotional interviews are also planned.

Fans are anticipating an update about Baahubali 3 during the promotions, and there’s a buzz on social media suggesting that Baahubali: The Epic might end with a hint leading to the third part.

On the other hand, some industry reports suggest that there are currently no plans for Baahubali 3, as Rajamouli wouldn’t make such a straightforward announcement for a massive film like this. A project of this scale requires a well-prepared script and clear timelines.

We need to wait and see if Rajamouli and his team say or give any hint about Baahubali 3 in the interviews or promotions of the re-release.

Kantara Chapter 1 Struggles at Overseas Box Office

0

Kantara Chapter 1, the spiritual drama directed and led by Rishab Shetty, had a strong weekend in India, grossing around 265 crore. However, its overseas performance fell short of expectations, delivering disappointing numbers.

It is a matter of concern, as the movie was not released by the makers on their own, and the buyers invested significant amounts expecting Kantara Chapter 1 to perform exceptionally well at the overseas box office.

Kantara Chapter 1 Overseas Box Office: Disappointing Weekend – Needs to have a long run to

Yash and Prashant Neel’s KGF 2 collected 27 million overseas, whereas Kantara Chapter 1’s overseas breakeven business is around 15 million. 

Everyone thought it would be easily achievable, but the film has a very low start; even though the weekend sees some good momentum, still the weekend sees dull collections overall.

Kantara Prequel’s first weekend overseas collections are at 6.2 million, and for the breakeven value, it is just a 40% recovery, which is a serious concern for the film’s box office result, as the first weekend’s recovery always should be more than 75% of breakeven rights overseas.

Kantara Chapter 1 needs to perform exceptionally well at the overseas box office starting today to approach its breakeven point. Without strong momentum, buyers might face significant losses.

0

Sasivadane is the upcoming beautiful love story with Rakshit Atluri and Komalee Prasad in the lead roles. The film has already spiked the interest of movie lovers with its intriguing posters and teaser. Recently, the team released the trailer and announced the release date of the film. 

The trailer of Sasivadane introduces a heartfelt love story set against the scenic backdrop of Konaseema and Amalapuram. Rakshit appears as a young man who falls deeply in love with a spirited woman, played by Komalee Prasad. 

The lead pair’s chemistry in the trailer feels natural, enhanced by beautiful visuals and music. Like any love story, this trailer also hints at various issues faced by the couple and how they overcome them.

“Okkasari Preminchalani Decide Ayyamante Ennocchina Yuddham Cheyalsindhey”, this dialogue forms the crux of the film, and the trailer also suggests that there is a poignant father and son track.

The film showcases an impressive group of actors including Rangasthalam Mahesh, Sriman, Jabardasth Bobby, Praveen Yandamuri, and Deepak Prince in crucial roles.

With Saimohan Ubbana at the helm as both writer and director, Ahiteja Bellamkonda has produced this film under SVS Studios Pvt. Ltd. and AG Film Company. The makers of Sasivadane have officially announced that the movie will have its worldwide theatrical release on October 10, 2025.

Kantara Chapter 1 Fails to Beat Coolie in Weekend Box Office

0

Rajinikanth’s Coolie is the biggest opener at the Indian box office with 150 Cr+ gross worldwide, and OG comes closer with 140 Cr+ gross, and Kantara Chapter 1 did not even come closer, as it collected just 85 Cr gross on the opening day.

Even for the 1st weekend (4 days), Coolie is the biggest film this year with more than 380 Cr gross collections, and Kantara Chapter 1 also had a 4-day weekend, but the movie falls short of Coolie, as it collected around 320 Cr gross for the 1st weekend.

Kantara Chapter 1 First Weekend: Falls Short of Coolie – Can it score in the full run?

But the Rishab Shetty directorial can cover the difference in the coming days, as after the first weekend, Coolie did not hold strong at the box office and managed to get average collections only.

This is the reason Rajinikant’s film failed to set the No. 1 position in its full run for 2025. Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava, with 800 Cr gross collection, is the number one grosser for the Indian film industry in 2025, and we need to wait and see whether Kantara Chapter 1 can beat this.

Kantara Chapter 1 Ends Weekend Strong — Box Office on Fire

0

Kantara Chapter 1 registers massive collections on Sunday, marking the film’s biggest day yet. On its opening day, it collected over 85 Cr, boosted by the public holiday advantage and paid premieres both overseas and in India.

On Sunday the film clocks around 85 Cr gross worldwide, which is the biggest single day for it, which says how good the trend is. With Sunday collections, Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 wraps up its first 4-day extended weekend with massive collections, taking the worldwide gross to 320 crores.

Kantara 1st Weekend Box Office: Extraordinary Trend

The good sign is Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam had a much bigger day on Sunday, which is a good sign for the long run. The Kannada and Telugu versions are holding super strong from the opening day itself, and the same momentum is expected to continue afterward.

The film needs to show strong legs at the box office on weekdays, and it needs to aim for 400 Cr+ gross collections in the 1st week box office and even more. The trade anticipates the film to achieve a range of 600-700 Cr, and the weekend trend is also syncing with this expectation.

Dhanush Hosts Mutton Feast at Temple

0

It is common for the actors to go to temples or other places of gods to offer their sacrifices or their rituals if their wishes come true. Now, actor Dhanush hosts a mutton feast at Theni temple as a part of the success celebrations of Idli Kadai, his latest film.

Actor Dhanush visited the renowned Karuppasamy temple near Bodinayakanur in Theni, where he offered a goat sacrifice and performed special prayers to celebrate the success of his directorial film, Idli Kadai. He joined villagers for a grand feast and posed for selfies with fans during the celebration.

Idli Kadai works for Tamil audiences, especially in Tamil Nadu. With today, the Tamil Nadu gross goes to 40 Cr, and worldwide will cross the 50 Cr mark. This is a good collection considering the movie’s genre and budget. 

Yes, it cannot get big numbers like Raayan, the previous film of Dhanush at the box office, but still the movie is doing good numbers.
