Kantara Chapter 1 Surpasses ₹500 Crore at Global Box Office on Day 9

Kantara Chapter 1 box office update

Kantara Chapter 1 accumulated ₹360 crore net (₹432 crore gross) in India during its first nine days in theaters. The film recorded a ₹22 crore net collection in India, marking a nearly 6% increase from its Thursday totals. According to Hombale Films, the production house, the film gained ₹509 crore gross worldwide in just its first eight days. Following day nine, estimates suggest that the film’s total could be over ₹540 crore.

Regardless, Kantara Chapter 1 has surpassed the lifetime collections of major hits like War (₹475 crore) and Coolie (₹518 crore). The film is progressively working its way into the top 25 highest-grossing films in India, with projections indicating it may reach a total of ₹600 crore by the end of the weekend. Given the positive word of mouth, the film’s Saturday collections could receive a significant boost, supporting its long-term earnings. While hitting ₹1000 crore seems unlikely, surpassing ₹800 crore is definitely within reach.
