Kantara Chapter 1 Set To Break Chhaava Records
The numbers tell the story. Around Rs. 750 crore worldwide so far, and that’s before Diwali hits.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 20 Oct 2025 1:58 PM ISTA hit movie is like a river after the rains, fast, messy, impossible to stop. Kantara: Chapter 1, directed by Rishab Shetty, is exactly that. Even in its third weekend, the film is still filling theaters across the country. Rishab Shetty, Rukmini Vasanth, and Gulshan Devaiah are giving performances that stick in your head. People are talking about it everywhere, not just in cinemas, on social media. It’s become a full-on nationwide craze.
The numbers tell the story. Around Rs. 750 crore worldwide so far, and that’s before Diwali hits. The third Sunday saw packed shows, even with new films on screens. It’s not slowing down. The score by Ajaneesh Loknath, the songs, the action, everything adds up. Audiences aren’t just watching; they’re experiencing it, and they’re coming back for more.
Now the big question, can it beat Chhaava’s Rs. 807 crore? Looks like it’s very close. Just another week or so of steady shows, and this record might fall. With Diwali today, it’s perfect timing, people in holiday mode, families going to cinemas, snacks in hand, the collections could get a nice extra boost. Fans are excited, and the buzz is real.
It’s not just about money. Hombale Films made sure this is an experience, action, music, story, all rolled together. Fans are sharing clips, memes, dialogues, everything. This isn’t just a box office hit; it’s a moment. If the streak continues, Kantara won’t just break records, it’ll be one of those films people remember talking about for years.
