    Kantara Chapter 1 Box Office Day 3: Rishab Shetty's Film Beats Sikander, Earns Rs 225 Crore

    Kantara Chapter 1 Box Office Day 3: Rishab Shetty’s recently released movie Kantara: Chapter 1 has been getting an overwhelming response ever since its release. In just three days, the film has crossed Rs 200 crore mark at the box office.
    As reported by Hindustan Times, Kantara: Chapter 1 earned approximately Rs 55 crore net domestically on Saturday. It previously earned Rs 46 on Friday. This means that the film saw an increase in its earnings by around 20 per cent from Friday to Saturday.
    Besides this, the film has also been performing well overseas. Kantara Chapter 1 has reportedly earned over $3 million in its first three days abroad. This means that the film’s worldwide gross box office is now at Rs 225 crore.
    With its overwhelming response at the box office, Kantara Chapter 1 has also surpassed the lifetime collections of three big movies – Salman Khan’s Sikandar, Ram Charan’s Game Changer and Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi. While Sikander and Game Changer had earned Rs 176 crore and Rs 200 crore respectively, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s directorial had collected Rs 210 crore.
    What Does Kantara Chapter 1 Revolve Around?
    Kantara, which was released in 2022, was set in 1990. Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1, which was released on October 2, is set more than a thousand years before the events of the former. Therefore, it is a prequel to Kantara: Chapter 1.

    Kantara: Chapter 1 is set in the Kadamba period in Karnataka. The Kadambas were significant rulers of parts of Karnataka and played a major role in shaping the architecture and culture of the region. That period was known to be a Golden Period of Indian History.

    Kantara Chapter 1: News18 Showsha’s Review
    News18 Showsha gave this movie a 3.5-star rating. “Is Kantara: Chapter 1 a National Award-worthy instalment in the franchise? I don’t think so. But should you still watch it? Absolutely. Despite some forgivable flaws, the film is a visual treat, and the second half will surely leave you jaw-dropped. Kantara: Chapter 1 is Rishab Shetty’s attempt at amalgamating Indian folklore with mainstream cinema, and this he does well,” a part of our review read.
