Join NowKantara Chapter 1: For two thunderous weeks, Rishab Shetty’s cinematic marvel, ‘Kantara Chapter 1’, has been more than just a film; it has been a cultural phenomenon roaring through theaters across the nation. The movie has captivated audiences with its raw power and authentic storytelling, translating that overwhelming love into an earth-shattering box office performance. After blazing past the ₹300 crore mark in its explosive first week, ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ has continued its relentless march, and is now tantalizingly close to breaching the monumental ₹500 crore milestone in India alone.
The Unrelenting Box Office Journey
Released on October 2nd, ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ arrived in cinemas not with a whisper, but with a primal scream that immediately seized control of the box office. As anticipated, the film launched to an incredible start, but its sustained momentum has left trade analysts and audiences stunned. In a stunning display of its dominance, it swiftly overshadowed major Bollywood releases, including the much-hyped Varun Dhawan starrer, ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari,’ proving that powerful content can triumph over star power.
Now, after 14 days in cinemas, the film’s financial achievements are nothing short of breathtaking. Having recovered its initial budget early in its run, ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ is now reaping massive profits, cementing its status as a colossal blockbuster.
Here’s a breakdown of its incredible journey so far:
-
Week 1: A staggering ₹337.4 crore
-
Day 9 (2nd Friday): ₹22.25 crore
-
Day 10 (2nd Saturday): ₹39 crore
-
Day 11 (2nd Sunday): ₹39.75 crore
-
Day 12 (2nd Monday): ₹13.35 crore
-
Day 13 (2nd Tuesday): ₹14.15 crore
According to early trends reported by Sacnilk, ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ held strong on its 14th day (the second Wednesday), adding another ₹10 crore to its treasure chest. This incredible consistency brings the film’s grand total after two weeks to an astronomical ₹475.90 crore.
The Battle for the Ultimate Crown: Can ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ Become #1?
While the film’s earnings saw a slight, expected dip on its second Wednesday, its overall business has been phenomenal. The makers are enjoying an unprecedented windfall as the film continues to hold a vice-like grip on the box office. Its astounding success has propelled ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ to become the second highest-grossing film of the year, surpassed only by the mighty ‘Chhava’, which sits at the top with a lifetime collection of ₹615.39 crore.
Now, ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ is just a stone’s throw away from the prestigious ₹500 crore club. This remarkable milestone is expected to be achieved in the next day or two, bringing it one step closer to challenging ‘Chhava’s’ record. The ultimate question now on everyone’s mind is: does ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ have enough steam to dethrone ‘Chhava’ and claim the coveted title of the Number 1 film of the year? Only time will tell, but its spectacular run suggests that this cinematic beast is far from done.
