Kantara Chapter 1: Day 13 Box Office Surpasses The GOAT’s Total Domestically

Kantara Chapter 1 Box Office Earnings

Per industry reports, Kantara Chapter 1 garnered an impressive Rs 13.5 crore net in India, boosting its total domestic earnings to ₹465 crore over the first thirteen days post-release. This figure clearly surpasses the worldwide collection of Venkat Prabhu’s The GOAT, which achieved ₹457 crore during its run, and even the lifetime earnings of Salman Khan’s Tiger 3.

Despite a robust first week tally of ₹337.4 crore, the film has shown some decline during the second week’s weekday performances. For instance, it earned ₹13.35 crore on Monday, a sharp drop of over 66% compared to Sunday’s ₹39.75 crore. It’s important to monitor whether this trend continues or if the film can regain its earlier momentum.

Overview of Kantara Chapter 1

Kantara Chapter 1 serves as a prequel to the acclaimed 2022 Kannada film, which highlighted the culturally rich Bhuta Kola tradition. Rishab Shetty not only directed the movie but also stars as a tribal character named Berme. Produced by Hombale Films, this installment includes performances by Rukmini Vasanth, Gulshan Devaiah, and Jayaram. Impressively, it has surpassed the ₹600 crore milestone globally since its premiere, making it the second-highest-grossing film of the year after Chhaava.
