Kantara Chapter 1 Box Office Update

In just two weeks, the production house Hombale Films reported that Kantara Chapter 1 earned ₹717 crore worldwide. This milestone was announced through a social media post. As the film entered its third week, it continued to draw crowds, raking in ₹38 crore net in India during the third weekend alone.

Over the next six days, Kantara added ₹92 crore to its global total, reaching ₹809 crore. This amount overtakes Chhaava’s final revenue of ₹807 crore.

However, some reports suggest that Kantara Chapter 1 may still be shy of Chhaava’s record. According to Sacnilk, the film’s worldwide gross could be around ₹775 crore after 21 days. The film has generated approximately ₹556.75 crore net in India, along with an estimated $13 million from international markets. An English version is also set for release soon.
