Kantara: Chapter 1 continues its extraordinary box office run

Surat: Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: Chapter 1 continues its extraordinary run at the box office, drawing massive crowds across India and overseas. The much-anticipated prequel to the 2022 blockbuster has stormed theatres nationwide, showing no signs of slowing down.

Following its grand release on Dussehra, the film opened to a phenomenal response, and has maintained strong momentum since. The film’s four-day collection soared to an impressive Rs. 235 crore, with the final collection expected to rise once the figures of the night shows are available. The film has also received excellent response in various overseas markets.

Written, directed, and headlined by Rishab Shetty, Kantara: Chapter 1 delves into the deep-rooted folklore that made the original Kantara a cultural phenomenon. Set a thousand years before the events of the 2022 film, which grossed over Rs. 400 crore worldwide on a modest budget of Rs. 15 crore, the new chapter explores the origins of its mystical and spiritual universe.

Kantara: Chapter 1 follows the backstory of the guardian deity Panjurli Daiva, portraying the struggle between a tribal community and a tyrannical king. The film has received rave reviews from both audiences and critics, with many calling it a work of cinematic brilliance and a masterpiece.

The film also features Rukmini Vasanth, Jayaram, and Gulshan Devaiah in key roles, adding depth and dimension to the epic narrative. With its evocative storytelling, breathtaking visuals, and emotionally charged performances, Kantara: Chapter 1 has resonated strongly with audiences.

The film’s combination of folklore, faith, and cinematic grandeur has helped it connect with diverse audiences. Exhibitors across India have reported packed screenings, even on weekdays, reflecting the film’s sustained popularity.

As Kantara: Chapter 1 continues its remarkable box office journey, it cements Rishab Shetty’s reputation as one of Indian cinema’s most visionary storytellers and showcases the enduring appeal of regional storytelling on a global stage.

Amid its dream box office run, Kantara: Chapter 1 is now gearing up for a special honour. The acclaimed film was screened at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Sunday, marking a proud moment for the entire team.
