Kantara Trending Now On Netflix, Here’s Why Everyone Loves

Some films hit like a lightning strike, and Kannada blockbuster movie Kantara is one of them. Starring multitalented Rishab Shetty, who also directed it, the movie made waves across Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, and Malayalam audiences and gained attention globally. Its intense story, grounded performances, and action sequences created a strong impact. Now, with Kantara Chapter-1 out, interest in the original film has surged again.

Kantara Chapter-1 is performing exceptionally well at the box office, and audiences are revisiting the original on Netflix. The Hindi version is currently 4th on Netflix India, showing that the film has reached beyond theaters. Viewers are drawn to its mix of folklore, action, and emotion, which is different from usual commercial films. Rishab Shetty has strengthened his reputation as a versatile hero-director through this franchise.

Released on October 2 during Dussehra, Kantara Chapter-1 quickly set new records. Produced by Hombale Films, it opened in seven languages and around 7,000 theaters, collecting Rs. 235 crore in the first three days and crossing Rs. 300 crore worldwide in four days. The combination of cultural storytelling and high-energy action has made it a standout success in Indian cinema.

Kantara’s fever hasn’t slowed, now ruling digital too. Amazon Prime Video snapped the rights, letting fans stream and relive the magic.
