Kantara Box Office Day 4: Kantara: Chapter 1 – Rishab Shetty’s Latest Masterpiece – Hits Global Box Office. The film, which was an instant success amongst fans when it was launched weeks ago, has lived to achieve and perhaps even surpass the expectations placed up it. The film achieved yet another historical milestone, crossing the ₹300 crore worldwide gross mark within just four days and thus became the first Kannada film to attain such a revenue in 2025. With this, Kantara: Chapter 1 surpassed many recent blockbusters like KGF and HanuMan and set a new benchmark for regional cinema.
The film spellbindingly flew crowds to films across India on an extraordinary run of Sunday. On D-4 itself, Kantara Chapter 1 made a whopping ₹61 crore net, increasing domestic weekend average net to around ₹223.25 crore (accrued gross of ₹268 crore). It is now the second-largest opening weekend in any Kannada film’s history, just behind KGF Chapter 2, which amassed a mighty ₹380 crore in its opening weekend.
The earthiness, powerful emotional core, and stellar Rishab Shetty performance resonate with a handful of audience members, with the number rapidly growing beyond linguistic frontiers. Its rooted storytelling and strong visuals helped lure repeat audiences, sealing its fate at the box office.
