Chapter 1 Box Office Collection Day 2: Rishab Shetty’s film earns as much as Hrithik Roshan’s War 2 in two days, mints Rs 106.85 crKantara
Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 has turned into a massive box office success, raking in an impressive Rs 106.85 crore by the end of its second day in theaters. This remarkable feat has drawn comparisons with other high-budget films, such as Hrithik Roshan’s upcoming War 2, highlighting the power of Kantara‘s strong audience reception despite not having a big star cast or high production costs.
The film, which has become a sleeper hit, is a blend of drama, thriller, and folk elements, and it has captured the imagination of viewers with its unique storytelling. Kantara has also benefited from positive word-of-mouth, helping it maintain a steady momentum at the box office over the weekend.
On its second day, the film continued to perform strongly, matching the first two-day collection of Hrithik Roshan’s War 2, which had a significant amount of marketing and a high-profile cast. This shows that Kantara has become a force to reckon with at the box office, further solidifying Rishab Shetty’s reputation as a talented filmmaker and actor.
The film’s early success has also sparked a conversation about the growing prominence of regional cinema in India, with Kantara proving that audience interest and storytelling are often more important than star power or budget. As the film continues to perform well, industry experts predict that Kantara could soon become one of the highest-grossing films of the year.
With a strong hold over audiences, particularly in the South, the film’s momentum is expected to build in the coming days, making it a major contender at the box office this year.
