Kantara: Chapter 1 took a strong start at the box office. The film, acted and directed by Rishab Shetty, is a prequel to the 2022 blockbuster Kantara. Rukmini Vasanth played the female lead. Generally, people expect second installments of a blockbuster to reach the Rs. 1000-crore mark.
In the case of Kantara, the first film released without expectations yet went on to earn a massive Rs. 400 crores. Hence, the expectations for the prequel are set at Rs. 1000 crores. For the film to touch that four-digit number, it must perform superbly in the Hindi circuits.
Another crucial factor will be the overseas numbers. If the divine action spectacle manages to click big in international markets, it can achieve mammoth numbers like other PAN-Indian sequels. Let’s see how much Kantara: Chapter 1 collects in the long run.
