After a phenomenal weekend, Rishab Shetty’s mythological epic Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 saw its first major slowdown on Monday, marking a 50% drop in collections compared to its opening weekend surge.
The film, which had already earned a massive ₹225.25 crore India net in its first four days, collected around ₹30.50 crore net on Day 5 (Monday) across all languages, according to early estimates. Despite the dip, Kantara continues to hold strong in several regions.
The Hindi version contributed an estimated ₹8.50–9.50 crore net, showing a steady performance in northern markets after a strong debut weekend.
On Monday, October 6, 2025, Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 registered mixed occupancy levels across languages — with Kannada leading at 72.70%, followed by Tamil (43.13%), Malayalam (40.01%), Telugu (36.52%), and Hindi (17.67%).
While the Monday dip was expected after the film’s historic opening four days, trade analysts note that Kantara Chapter 1 is still performing exceptionally well for a weekday, especially in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
Directed by Rishab Shetty and produced by Hombale Films, Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 has already crossed the ₹350 crore gross mark worldwide and remains a dominant force at the Indian box office.
With its strong hold in the southern circuits and steady buzz in the Hindi belt, the film is poised to continue its impressive run through the week — reaffirming Hombale Films’ status as the most successful banner in Indian cinema right now. |
