Kantara Chapter 1 Diwali Race: Kantara was more than a film; it was a movement-that came with folklore, faith, and fierce storytelling inside itself when it released in theatres in 2022. Now, Kantara Chapter 1 has moved ahead with great legacy with even more grandeur and sentiments. It was released earlier this month, and that prequel has already garnered above ₹650 crore worldwide, reminding once again that the audience wants well-rooted, powerful cinema. As Diwali 2025 approaches, the premise hangs on every lip-whether the golden run of Siddharth Shetty’s mythological masterpiece can continue against so many other festive releases.

Deepavali Trailer

That is what the Deepavali trailer of Kantara Chapter 1 promised-intense visuals, haunting rituals, and Rishab Shetty’s commanding presence on screen. The cinematography captured the earthen essence of coastal folklore while the background score enhanced the spiritual sound. Even post-release, clips and scenes from the trailer continue to create waves across social media, proving the film’s magic on public fantasies.

Box-office Triumphed

It has got into the league that few Indian films have entered-crossing the landmark of ₹650 crores in worldwide collections in a matter of weeks. In India, it can bring in over ₹450 crore net; overseas markets are pretty plentiful, and together, they deliver on the global success. The film has now pushed past the lifetime collections boasted of by blockbusters like Baahubali: The Beginning and Sultan, making Rishab Shetty a really formidable storyteller and actor. This incredible performance at the box office pushes Kantara Chapter 1 into the league of the largest-grossing Indian films of all time.

Diwali 2025 Box Office Showdown 

This festive offering is packed with Mithra Mandali and Theater: The Myth of Reality (Oct 16); Diesel, Telusu Kada, Dude and Bison (Oct 17); K-Ramp (Oct 18); Thama and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat (Oct 21). Though it does have this very crowded slate, Kantara Chapter 1 continues to float above them all. Its ongoing success and word of mouth ensure packed theatres particularly down south, while it would seem that itself is not making anything easier with new films joining the fray for the screens and audiences alike.
