Shattering All-Time Records in Its Home Market
While the Hindi numbers are excellent, the film’s performance in its home state is simply historic. Kantara: Chapter 1 is not just breaking records; it is demolishing them. Its Monday collections are set to surpass the numbers of giants like Baahubali 2 (₹11.50 crore on a holiday) and KGF 2 (₹8.75 crore). The film is nearing the ₹90 crore mark in just five days in the state and is on track to cross the ₹100 crore milestone by tomorrow, achieving this feat in a record-breaking six days.
How Big Can It Get?
The question is no longer if the film will set a new lifetime record in its home market, but by what margin. The trade is buzzing with the possibility of the film even crossing the massive ₹200 crore milestone in its home state alone. The film’s performance on Wednesday will provide more clarity on where its lifetime collections will eventually land, but one thing is for sure: Kantara: Chapter 1 is a box office phenomenon.
