Kantara Chapter 1’s Tamil Nadu Box Office – A Shocking Blockbuster Success

The box office run of Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 is super consistent, and the film amazes the trade with its exceptional run in Tamil Nadu, as it achieved a shocking blockbuster status in that region. 

Kantara Chapter 1 is the prequel for the film Kantara. If we go back to 2022, the first part collected around 400 crore gross worldwide, and the film did very well in Kannada, Hindi, and Telugu. 

The first part’s Tamil version numbers were lower than Kerala’s and others. So, because of this, the expectations on Kantara Chapter 1 running in the Tamil Territories were not so big. 

Kantara Chapter 1 Tamil Nadu: Excellent Performance

But surprisingly, the Tamil Nadu rights of the Rishab Shetty directorial were sold for 32 Cr, prompting everyone to think that it could be a huge loss venture, as the breakeven is valued around 60 Cr.

However, the Tamil Nadu performance of Kantara Chapter 1 surprises everyone. Despite the new releases arriving during the Diwali festival, the spiritual action drama is continuously posting strong numbers.

For 20 days the film has crossed the 60 Cr gross mark in Tamil Nadu and achieved breakeven and entered the profit zone, and it will not settle here and is expected to do more than 75 Cr gross in its full run, as the run is fantastic for the film despite facing new releases like Dude and Bison. 

The best part is, the Kantara prequel has not only performed well in Tamil Nadu, but it also did superb numbers in the overseas territories as well.

Kantara Chapter 1 Box Office: Massive Numbers everywhere except Hindi

Rishab Shetty’s much-appreciated film has put massive numbers in all areas. It grossed 50 Cr in Kerala, a feat that very few dubbed films have been able to achieve. 

Coming to the Telugu States, after KGF 2, Kantara Chapter 1 is the only movie to collect more than 100 Cr gross, and in its homeland, Karnataka, the film is thebiggest grosser of all time as it achieves the 1st 200 Cr mark. 

Only in Hindi did the film register a moderate to decent performance, where it was expected to collect near the KGF 2 range, but it did not do so. Overall, the film crossed the 750 Cr gross mark worldwide and is now heading towards the 800 Cr milestone.

Mass Jathara Will Shake Theaters

Ravi Teja’s Mass Jathara, produced by Naga Vamsi, faced several postponements, and it is all set to arrive in theaters on October 31st. Despite the low buzz around the film, the producer says that Mass Jathara will shake theaters.

At first, the film was supposed to arrive on May 9th, then it was moved to the second week of July, and it was again postponed to August 27th, and finally, it is getting released on October 31st. So, after such postponements, anybody will be doubtful about the film’s result.

But, as said above, producer Naga Vamsi is confident that Ravi Teja’s Mass Jathara will shake the theaters. In his latest interview, along with the Mass Maharaja, Vamsi showed a lot of confidence in the film.

Naga Vamsi sounds confident on Mass Jathara’s Success

He said that the film will enthrall audiences from the pre-interval episode and the second half will be a solid commercial entertainer with all elements getting blended perfectly.

Vamsi also confirmed that the mass entertainer, directed by debutante director Bhanu and starring Sreeleela as the female lead, will have its paid premieres on October 30th, which shows his confidence in the film’s content and result.

Baahubali: The Epic Smashes 150K in USA Premieres Advance Sales

Baahubali: The Epic is creating havoc at the US box office. Till now no re-release has collected 150K in the USA even in its lifetime, but the masterpiece of Rajamouli and Prabhas crosses the figure with the premiere advance sales itself. 

The previous biggest number for a re-release movie was Khaleja with around 120K. But Baahubali: The Epic smashes 150K with just advance sales for premieres, and there are 10 more days to release. This is a phenomenal achievement. 

The film is expected to achieve at least a million mark in the USA in its full run, and it can even achieve a much bigger milestone, as the craze around it is similar to the impact of a mainstream tier-2 movie release. 

In India also the film is expected to get the same rage or much higher advances, and Baahubali is all set to create new benchmarks for a re-release movie.

Tug Of War Between Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna Films Business in Ceeded

There was always a race between Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna from the beginning, and the Megastar led the race continuously.  Now, there is a tug of war between Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna’s films in the Ceeded area. 

At one time Chiranjeevi used to have a big lead over Balakrishna, but in recent years, the former made a massive comeback with continuous successful films, whereas Chiru sees both hits and flops. 

Even at this time, if we compare the businesses, Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu had a comfortable lead over Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 in all territories excluding Ceeded.

Ceeded is the strongest territory for Balayya, and it is one of the strong zones for Chiru as well. In this territory, Chiranjeevi’s Mana Sankara Vara Prasad and Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 business are likely to be the same.

Reportedly, the producers are said to be quoting at 24 – 25 Cr, and the deals are likely to be finalized around 22 Cr.

As per current trends, the overall worldwide business for Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is likely to be over 160 Cr, while Akhanda 2’s Telugu version is likely to be around 125 Cr.

Here’s What Went Wrong – Naga Vamsi on War 2

NTR did not have a failure for a decade, i.e., from 2015 to 2025, and his success streak ended with War 2, which also had a connection with Naga Vamsi, who was a distributor of the film in Telugu states.

The producer Naga Vamsi saw big profits by buying the Telugu states’ rights of Devara and did the same with War 2 but saw massive losses, and he spoke about it during the promotions of Mass Jathara, his upcoming film. 

Vamsi admitted that both he and NTR blindly trusted Aditya Chopra and Yash Raj Films, as they are a big brand in Indian cinema regarding War 2, and it backfired badly. 

He said that he did not produce the film, but he got trolled for the failure of the War sequel. Naga Vamsi said that mistakes do happen, but he did not have any involvement in the film’s making or result.

Thamma is the latest romantic horror film from Bollywood and the fifth installment in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe.

Let us see how the film has been shaped up in our review.

Story:

The rest of the story explores how Tadaka and her clan, led by Yakshasan (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), change Alok’s life forever.

Ayushmann Khurrana delivers a smooth and natural performance, adding humor and emotion where needed. Rashmika Mandanna shines in her unique role, portraying the vampire with the right body language and intensity. Paresh Rawal adds comic relief, while Nawazuddin Siddiqui impresses despite limited screen time. Geeta Agarwal leaves a mark, and Faisal Malik, Rachit Singh, and others do a decent job.

Analysis:

Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, Thamma offers one of the most engaging plots in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU). The film features some strong and important scenes, especially in the second half, along with entertaining moments that keep the story moving.

While the screenplay has a few weak spots and some scenes lack the expected impact, the film regains its pace near the climax and ends with a clever tease for future MHCU films.

Positives:

  • Interesting Plot
  • Ayushmann Khurrana – Rashmika Mandanna Pair/Performance
  • Exciting Scenes in the Second Half
  • Comedic Parts

  • Uneven Feel at a Few Places
  • Some Humorous Scenes Get Repetitive

Thamma Review and Verdict:

Overall, Thamma benefits from perfect star cast and strong performances, intriguing storyline, and exciting sequences. Despite a few flaws, it manages to hold the audience’s attention till the end.

Kantara Chapter 1 Smashes Records with 750 Cr in 20 Days

Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 is having very good days at the box office during the Diwali festival holidays, and the film, today on its 20th day, crosses the 750 Cr gross milestone. 

Now the film is heading towards the 800 Cr gross milestone, and at the same time, the spiritual action drama is on the way to becoming the biggest grosser. Bollywood’s film, Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava stands as the current big grosser of the year with 800 Cr Gross.

With 750 Cr gross in 20 days, Kantara Chapter 1 performed exceptionally well in South belts and decently in Hindi markets. If the film’s Hindi area’s theatrical performance had matched South India’s performance, the film could have easily joined the mighty 1000 Cr club at the box office.
