Rishab Shetty’s Kantara was a massive blockbuster, released with low expectations but collected huge numbers in Kannada, Telugu, and Hindi. Naturally, the prequel Kantara Chapter 1 carried huge expectations and did strong theatrical business everywhere.
On day one, it opened to mostly positive talk with some complaints. Dasara holidays helped with the superb collections. However, Monday saw a noticeable drop.
Here’s the 5-day collection report:
| Nizam | 18.51 crore |
| Ceded | 6.83 crore |
| Uttarandhra | 6.01 crore |
| East | 2.49 crore |
| West | 1.77 crore |
| Guntur | 2.95 crore |
| Krishna | 3.02 crore |
| Nellore | 1.33 crore |
| AP+Telangana Total | 42.91 crore |
| Rest of India | 0.72 crore |
| Total Worldwide | 43.63 crores (share) (Telugu version) |
Kantara Chapter 1 (Telugu) did Rs. 85 Cr business, needs Rs. 86 Cr to break even. In 5 days, it earned Rs. 43.63 Cr share and Rs. 69 Cr gross. High ticket prices limited earnings, and strong weekday collections are needed to reach break-even.
