Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1, the highly-anticipated prequel to the cult blockbuster Kantara, has made a monumental entry at the global box office. The devotional drama has reportedly amassed a colossal ₹335 Crore+ gross worldwide in its extended opening weekend, setting new benchmarks for Kannada Cinema.
After a colossal blockbuster like KGF Chapter 2, the movie has taken all-time second place among top weekend grossers for Kannada. KGF Chapter 2 collected Rs.380 crores gross in the first weekend while Kantara Chapter 1 collected Rs.325-335 crores gross worldwide, with 335 being official figure.
Rishab Shetty has been able to build on the Kantara blockbuster success with this prequel keeping audiences glued to the screens throughout. Even though Pawan Kalyan’s “They Call him OG” turned out to significant competition, the movie had huge crowds turn up to the theatres during long Dussehra weekend.
Trade analysts are confidently predicting that the film is poised to re-write box office history in the coming days, perfectly capitalizing on the festive boost provided by the impending Diwali holiday season. The powerful reception to Kantara Chapter 1 solidifies its position as one of the biggest Indian hits of the year.
