Kantara Chapter 1 opened to decent reviews, with ticket sales soaring phenomenally. Rishab Shetty leads the film as both actor and director, while Rukmini Vasanth plays the female lead.
The movie’s success is being fueled by positive reviews, word of mouth, and the Dussehra holiday season. Hourly sales on BookMyShow reportedly touched around 90K, prompting fans to wonder if the film could challenge Pushpa 2’s seemingly untouchable record.
Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 currently holds the highest hourly sales, with 107.21K tickets sold in a single hour. While that record still stands, the bookings rampage for Kantara Chapter 1 has cine-goers speculating whether the latest release might surpass it. Only time will tell.
Day 1 collections for Kantara Chapter 1 are estimated at around Rs. 85 crores worldwide, with official figures yet to be confirmed by the makers. Hombale Films backed the project, and Ajaneesh Loknath composed the soundtrack.
