Mega Milestone: Kantara Touches 500 Crore!

Indian cinema is almost entirely dominated by the franchise culture, and this is becoming a particularly prevalent these days. The latest addition the list is Kantara Chapter 1 which had its theatrical debut earlier this month.

The latest news about this film is that it has reportedly touched the 500 crore mark at the global box office.

The communication from the makers is that the film has reportedly crossed over ₹503 crore globally. It is now one of the highest grossing films ever to be made in Kannada cinema.

Also, it is one of the highest grossing films of Indian cinema for the year 2025, and it is a pretty significant achievement for rooted commercial film. The better thing here is that the film could generate such massive revenues just in its opening weekend itself.

This is primarily due to the strong run that the film is registering in the Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, which has been a crucial contributing factor.

The film is doing reasonably well at the Hindi box office as well. The significant contribution from Hindi and Telugu have added up to the global collections, and this is reflecting in the weekend collection of this film now.

Hero Rishabh Shetty has delivered another blockbuster as a director again, and he is now one of the most tribute names in Indian cinema.
