Kantara Chapter 1 is turning heads big time since its release. This period action flick, directed by and starring Rishab Shetty, dives into ancient myths and traditions as a prequel to the 2022 smash hit Kantara. Folks are buzzing about its gripping story, stunning visuals, and how it blends culture with high energy action.
Theaters are seeing solid crowds, with occupancy hitting over 70% in many spots, especially in Karnataka where it’s basically housefull on weekends. On social media, people are raving calling it a must watch, praising the music and Shetty’s performance. Some say it’s even better than the first one, drawing families and young crowds alike.
The movie kicked off with a bang, pulling in about ₹90 crore worldwide on its opening day alone, which beat out some big names like Stree 2 and Baahubali. Made on a budget of around ₹125 crore, it’s already way past breaking even thanks to strong pre release hype from the original film’s success.
Advance bookings were crazy, especially in South India, and word-of-mouth has kept the momentum going. Over the first week, it raked in over ₹337 crore net in India, with steady drops mid-week but big jumps on weekends. It’s outperformed rivals like Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari and is now among the top earners of 2025.
