Kantara Chapter 1 worldwide box office: Rishab Shetty’s film is continuing to captivate audiences as it completes its second week in theaters. The Kannada period drama began with enthusiastic reviews, opening to significant success domestically and achieving remarkable overseas collections, easily crossing the ₹700 crore worldwide milestone.
As of Friday, the film surpassed the ₹700 crore benchmark, with a total worldwide collection of ₹717.50 crore within two weeks. The official announcement was made via a film poster shared on their X account, emphasizing the film’s remarkable achievements with the caption, “A divine storm at the box office. #KantaraChapter1 roars past 717.50 CRORES+ GBOC worldwide in 2 weeks.”
The film is also nearing ₹500 crore in India, having made ₹485.4 crore as of Thursday. Although there was an expected drop in collections during weekdays, a resurgence is anticipated with the upcoming Diwali holidays.
By achieving its current success, Kantara Chapter 1 has now secured a spot among the top 20 highest-grossing Indian films to date, eclipsing the total earnings of Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2, which was ₹691.08 crore. It has already outstripped other recent hits, including Salman Khan’s Sultan (₹628 crore), SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali (₹650 crore), Rajinikanth’s Jailer (₹605 crore), and Vijay’s Leo (₹606 crore).
The film aims to catch up to Chhaava, which collected ₹808 crore. It remains to be seen if it can reach the coveted ₹1000-crore milestone.
Written and helmed by Rishab Shetty, Kantara Chapter 1 serves as a prequel to the 2022 hit Kantara, which grossed ₹400 crore globally. Set a millennium before the original film, this sequel features a stellar cast including Rishab Shetty, Rukmini Vasanth, Jayaram, and Gulshan Devaiah in pivotal roles.
