Kantara Chapter 1 Beats New Releases On 25th Day

Some films come and go before you even blink, but Kantara: Chapter 1 isn’t one of them. Even on its 25th day, this wild ride of a movie is still minting money, roughly ₹10 crore, while the rest of the new releases barely manage to stay in theatres. Movies like Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat have already packed up, and the others that came after, Mithra Mandali, K Ramp, have gone quiet too. Only Thama and Dude are holding up okay, but Kantara? It’s just running its own race, way ahead of the pack.

From day one, Rishab Shetty’s creation has been unstoppable. In just 24 days, it’s pulled in around ₹793.75 crore worldwide and is now inching toward the ₹800 crore line. People aren’t just watching it, they’re going back to feel it again. There’s something about that raw energy, the mythic mood, and Rishab’s intense screen presence that keeps pulling the crowd in. The digital release is next, with Amazon Prime Video teasing posters already. The date’s still under wraps, but fans are restless, refreshing their feeds every day.

Now, the real face-off is getting interesting, Kantara versus Chhaava. Vicky Kaushal’s historical drama sits on top at ₹827 crore, but Kantara is breathing down its neck, only ₹33 crore behind. It’s already crossed other biggies like Saiyaara, Coolie, and War 2, proving that a rooted story can smash records without fancy marketing. The buzz around Rishab Shetty is wild, he’s gone from a regional favourite to a national phenomenon in no time.

And the big question everyone’s tossing around, can Kantara touch the ₹1000 crore mark? Maybe, maybe not. But even if it doesn’t, the film’s already a winner. It’s made its mark, broken barriers, and reminded everyone that powerful storytelling still sells louder than hype. For now, Kantara: Chapter 1 is sitting on its throne, smiling while the others fade into memory.
