Kantara Chapter 1 worldwide box office collection day 6: The Rishab Shetty film is now the second-highest-grossing Kannada film of all time.

Kantara Chapter 1 worldwide box office collection: Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 continues to steamroll past milestones and landmarks each day it spends in the theatres.

Kantara Chapter 1 box office update

Kantara Chapter 1 had a very strong opening weekend, particularly in India. It has since carried that momentum on to the weekdays, showing just a small drop on Monday, and then managing to climb back on Tuesday. So far, the film has earned ₹290.25 crore net ( ₹348 crore gross) in India in its six-day run at the box office.

Overseas, Kantara Chapter 1 has not set the cash registers ringing quite at the same level as the Indian market, but it has done well. In its first six days, the film has collected over $7 million in international territories. This takes its worldwide collection to ₹414 crore with a couple of days still remaining in its first week at the ticket window.

Kantara Chapter 1 becomes second-highest-grossing Kannada film

On Sunday, Kantara Chapter 1 had gone past the lifetime collection of KGF Chapter 1. On Tuesday, it surpassed the first Kantara as well. The 2022 sleeper hit had earned ₹408 crore worldwide, which Kantara Chapter 1 has now surpassed. It is now the second-highest-grossing Kannada film of all time, behind only KGF Chapter 1 ( ₹1250 crore). On Tuesday, Kantara Chapter 1 also beat the lifetime haul of other recent hits like Kamal Haasan’s Vikram ( ₹413 crore) and the Bollywood horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 ( ₹411 crore). It now has a chance to be the first Indian film to breach ₹1000 crore this year.

All about Kantara Chapter 1

Written and directed by Rishab Shetty, Kantara Chapter 1 is a prequel to the 2022 sleeper hit Kantara. Set a thousand years before the events of the first film, it shows the tussle between the residents of Kantara and a neighbouring kingdom that wants to annex their lands and resources. Apart from Rishab in the lead, the period action drama also stars Rukmini Vasanth, Jayaram, and Gulshan Devaiah in the lead roles. Kantara Chapter 1 has received glowing reviews from critics and fans alike.

Manchester City shocked supporters and movie fans in equal measure with a stunning new revelation: “A legend, still being written.” These emotive words paralleled a dramatic image of football icon Erling Haaland against the otherworldly background of Kantara: Chapter 1, fusing the sport and cinema universes in a surprising but exhilarating cross-over.

Its U.K. premiere was greeted with a standing ovation, with reviewers hailing its deeply ingrained folklore and global appeal. The 4th-century AD-set film delves into the sacred history of the land of Kantara, searching out myths, ancient wars, and intervention by the gods. It’s a story of fire, faith, and destiny—one that now appears to resonate far beyond Indian films.

Directed, written, and starring Rishab Shetty, the film also features Sapthami Gowda, Gulshan Devaiah, Rukmini Vasanth, Jayaram, PD Satish Chandra, and Prakash Thuminad. Arvind S. Kashyap’s cinematography and B. Ajaneesh Loknath’s music bring the world of Kantara alive again.

Kantara Chapter 1 Takes The Lead! Enters 100 Crore Club In Record Time, Leaves Competition Behind! | Glamsham.com

Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 has taken the Indian box office by storm, becoming the top choice for moviegoers across the country. Despite receiving mixed reviews, this Kannada mythological action drama has quickly proven its box office might, entering the ₹100 crore club in just 48 hours.

According to early estimates, the film earned between ₹43–₹45 crore net on Day 2, following a stellar opening of ₹61.85 crore on Day 1. That brings its total to an estimated ₹104.85–₹106.85 crore net across all languages within two days—a remarkable feat for a regional film. Even on a regular working Friday, Kantara Chapter 1 maintained strong momentum, seeing only a 27–30% drop from its debut day. The movie is now setting new standards for Sandalwood and has emerged as serious competition for other major releases, including Jolly LLB 3, especially in the Hindi-speaking markets.

Box Office Breakdown (India, all languages):

Day 1: ₹61.85 crore

Day 2: ₹43–45 crore (early estimates)

Total (2 days): ₹104.85–106.85 crore

Kantara Chapter 1 vs Original Kantara

The success of Kantara Chapter 1 is a massive leap from the original film. In 2022, Kantara collected just ₹4.60 crore in its first two days. It took the original film 17 days to cross the ₹100 crore mark after its dubbed versions were released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. In stark contrast, the prequel has reached that milestone in just two days, highlighting the power of franchise recognition and the growing appeal of Rishab Shetty’s storytelling.

With two more days remaining in its extended opening weekend, Kantara Chapter 1 is poised to break more records and solidify its place as one of 2025’s biggest box office successes.

The producers of Kantara: Chapter 1, the highly awaited prequel to the 2022 hit Kantara, have made an emotional appeal to people asking them not to support piracy. Launched on October 2 in six languages—Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, and English—the film has released to positive reviews and censoring out crowd.

Taking to social media, production house Hombale Films said:
“Dear Kantara fans and movie enthusiasts, right from the start, Kantara has belonged to you as much as it is ours. Your support and affection have seen this journey through. We respectfully request you not to encourage piracy. It destroys the film, but more importantly, the dreams and hard work of thousands who worked day and night to make it come alive.”

The team also strongly advised not recording or sharing theatre footage, stating further, “Kantara Chapter 1 was made for the cinema—for you to feel each sound, each frame, each emotion as originally intended. Let’s safeguard this experience together and leave Kantara an unforgettable memory in theatres.”

The movie has received stern admiration from celebrities and fans. Indian cricketer Varun Chakravarthy posted on his Twitter account, “#Kantara has to be one of the best representations of India’s diverse and intricate cultures… Fantastic and mind-blowing!”

Karnataka HC extends stay order on movie ticket price cap, will it affect Kantara Chapter 1 collections? Details inside

by jummy84 October 4, 2025
written by jummy84

On Friday, the Karnataka High Court extended its stay order on the ₹200 price limit imposed on movie tickets in all multiplexes in the state. The Multiplex Association of India has moved court against the Karnataka State Film Chamber of Commerce’s decision to cap ticket prices in the state.

Kantara Chapter 1 stars Rishab Shetty in this charged-up prequel to Kantara.

The extension comes as Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 is running to packed houses across the state. Theatre owners had hoped that not having a ticket price cap during such a blockbuster would help their businesses by increasing collections.

The Karnataka High Court order

In the case of Karnataka State Film Chamber of Commerce vs Multiplex Association of India, filed before the Principal Bench of the Karnataka High Court, the Court, on 30.09.2025, in addition to continuing the stay order issued on 23.09.2025 regarding the ₹200 limit imposed on cinema tickets, has ordered as follows.

All cash transactions shall be digitally traceable, and cash registers shall be countersigned by the manager of the multiplex daily. The court has also asked moviegoers to keep a record of their tickets and save them for potential reimbursement in the future, in case the price cap is upheld by the court at a later date.

“In case the petitioner is successful in the final judgment of this appeal/petition, all the amounts collected through electronic means (excluding applicable GST) during the pendency of this writ petition shall be refunded to the individual customers who booked the tickets through the same mode of payment used for the booking. The respondent No. 1 shall submit a refund process plan to the licensing authority within 45 days from today for approval, which shall explain the procedure for refunding the customers. After approval by the licensing authority, it shall be placed before this court for final approval,” the order read

Will the order affect Kantara Chapter 1?

Not having a price cap means multiplex owners can price tickets higher than ₹200, which is the case in most tier-1 multiplexes across Karnataka right now. Given it’s the festive season, the high ticket prices have not deterred even the family audiences from coming to the theatres. And Kantara Chapter 1 has reaped the rewards. The film registered 82% occupancy for its Kannada shows on Friday, including 95-100% for night shows in centres like Bengaluru and Hubli. This will only increase over the weekend.

By the time the court rules on the price cap in its next hearing, Kantara Chapter 1 will have completed the bulk of its run. Any refund that could be given to the viewers later would come from the theatres’ pockets.

Written and directed by Rishab Shetty, Kantara Chapter 1 earned over ₹100 crore in India in its first two days. It is poised for a long run at the box office and is likely to end up as one of the highest-grossing Indian films of the year.

Arshad Warsi And Jitendra Kumar Unite In A Gripping Crime Thriller – Bhagwat Chapter 1: Raakshas Trailer Out | Glamsham.com

by jummy84 October 3, 2025
written by jummy84

The gripping trailer of Arshad Warsi and Jitendra Kumar’s Bhagwat Chapter 1: Raakshas has been released officially, giving audiences a gritty view of a crime, mystery, and moral conflict-filled world. The crime-thriller is directed by Akshay Shere and also stars Ayesha Kaduskar in a major role, and will have its premiere on ZEE5 on October 17.

The trailer kicks off with Arshad Warsi’s character, Vishwas Bhagwat, a tough and troubled cop who is suspended after violently injuring a suspect during an interrogation. Soon after, he is transferred to the remote town of Robertsganj in Uttar Pradesh, where he’s assigned to a disturbing case involving the disappearance of several young girls.

Jitendra Kumar is a seemingly mild-mannered science teacher whose behavior soon arouses suspicion. In a spine-chilling sequence, he is observed luring a little girl under shady circumstances. Vishwas, believing him to be guilty, arrests and beats him up at the police station. But the story takes a dramatic turn as Jitendra’s character strikes back — but not with fists, with brains — defending himself in court with fierce resolve.

The trailer promises a tense courtroom drama steeped in dark undertones and layered moral questions. With haunting visuals and a haunting score, Bhagwat Chapter 1: Raakshas promises to launch into a high-stakes war of perception and truth, law and justice.

Supported by Jio Studios in association with Baweja Studios and Dog ‘n’ Bone Pictures, the movie is set to deliver a dramatic interpretation of institutional failure, societal phobia, and unseen monsters in open sight.

With powerhouse artists like Warsi and Kumar set to go head-to-head, Bhagwat Chapter 1: Raakshas is becoming a riveting and thought-provoking experience this October.

There is good news for fans of Kantara! With the release of Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1 on October 2, the creators have officially announced that there will be a third part in the making. As per Bollywood Hungama, the second installment in the franchise will be called Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 2, a title announced at the conclusion of Chapter 1 itself.

In summary, Kantara (2022) took place in 1990 and was a huge success for its grounded storytelling and spiritual undertones. But it was eventually made known by director and lead actor Rishab Shetty that the film audiences initially saw was actually Part 2 of the film. In 2023, Shetty had also stated that the future film would be a prequel, transporting people back into the past to seek out the beginnings of the mythos. “What you have seen is actually Part 2. Part 1 will come next year,” he revealed on the 100-day success celebration of the film.

Kantara: Chapter 1, currently running in theatres, takes place during the Kadamba dynasty, more than a thousand years prior to the times of the original movie. The Kadambas were ruling princes in Karnataka, famous for their patronage of art, culture, and temple architecture—thus, the backdrop for the film is rich and ripe for storytelling.

While Chapter 1 has had a divided critical reception, it has been applauded for its sweeping scale and visualisation. News18 Showsha graded it 3.5 stars, terming it a “visual treat” with a thrilling second half. “Is it National Award-worthy? Perhaps not. But it’s still a must-watch for its immersive storytelling,” the review added.

With Kantara: Chapter 2 officially in the making, fans can anticipate the sequel—and eventual conclusion—of this epic on-screen saga that weaves together folklore, history, and spirituality.
