Kantara Chapter 1, the much-awaited epic directed by and starring Rishab Shetty, is continuing its blockbuster run at the Indian box office. The film is showing no signs of slowing down, using the major Diwali holiday push to maintain incredibly strong collections. On Tuesday, a key holiday day, the film collected an amazing ₹13.50 crore.
This fantastic single-day earning brings the total India gross collection to a massive ₹620 crore. The film is not just a domestic hit; it’s also a huge success overseas, adding another ₹108 crore ($12.20 million) from international markets. This takes the total worldwide gross to a truly incredible ₹728 crore, putting it in a special club of all-time Indian blockbusters.
Aiming For The ₹700 Crore Milestone
The film is now deep into its third week and is still pulling in huge crowds. It has already collected ₹66 crore in the first five days of this week alone. Even though the main Diwali festivities are over, the holiday effect is expected to continue for a couple more days in many parts of the country, which will keep the numbers high.
Trade experts believe the third week could close with a massive ₹88-90 crore. This would push the total domestic collection past ₹640 crore by the end of Thursday. This steady pace keeps Kantara Chapter 1 firmly on the right path to cross the ₹700 crore mark in India. If it continues this momentum, it is also set to beat Chaava and become the highest-grossing film of the year.
