Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1
Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 continues its remarkable journey at the box office, though the film has shown a slight dip in earnings as it enters its third week. The Kannada period drama, which has been both written and directed by Shetty himself, remains a dominant force among recent releases.
After opening with a massive ₹61.85 crore on day one, the film collected an impressive ₹337.4 crore within its first week, turning into an instant blockbuster. Maintaining strong momentum, Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 crossed the ₹485 crore mark by the end of its second week. On day 16, it added another ₹8.5 crore, taking the total domestic collection to ₹493.75 crore.
Despite fresh competition in theatres, the film continues to draw audiences, thanks to its gripping storytelling, powerful performances, and rich cultural roots. If the current pace continues, the film is expected to surpass the ₹500 crore milestone by the weekend, cementing its place among the biggest blockbusters of Indian cinema.
Serving as a prequel to the 2022 hit Kantara, this chapter delves deeper into the mythological and spiritual world that captivated audiences earlier. Released on October 2nd, coinciding with Dussehra and Gandhi Jayanti, the film features Rishab Shetty in the lead role alongside Rukmini Vasanth, Gulshan Devaiah, and Jayaram in pivotal performances.
With its continued success, Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 stands as a testament to the growing power of regional cinema and Rishab Shetty’s creative brilliance.
