Kantara had an excellent first week at the Indian box office, collecting nearly Rs. 25 crores approx. The majority of this came from Karnataka, where the film collected Rs. 24.50 crores approx while the rest of India contributed another Rs. 40 lakhs.
The film had an extraordinary trajectory at the box office, with first-week almost tripling the first weekend when even doubling the weekend would have been way better than the norm. The weekdays were helped by the Dusshera holidays but even after the holidays ended on Wednesday, Thursday was still more than double the opening day and 30 per cent higher than Saturday.
Film added 4.25 cr nett on 2nd Friday followed by massive jump on Saturday with 6.25 cr number and 7.25 cr nett on Sunday. Film added 4.50 cr nett on Monday followed by 4.25 cr nett on Tuesday and today 4 cr nett. Film has added 26.50 cr in 2nd week in 5 days and should cross 33 cr nett in 2nd week. Film has total of 56.75 cr in 13 days at kannada box office.
When you have this type of trend in your hand, the film can go anywhere. The film should comfortably hit Rs. 75 crores , most likely in the third week itself and become one of the highest grossing Kannada movies ever.
