Kantara Chapter 1 Becomes 2025’s No. 1 Film in India With 615.65 Crore Net

Despite an estimated 835.30 crore worldwide, the film is unlikely to enter the all-time global top 10 as its theatrical run slows.

Overview

  • On day 37, the Rishab Shetty-led film reached 615.65 crore net in India, edging past Chhaava’s 615.39 crore to lead 2025’s domestic box office, per Sacnilk figures reported by Koimoi.
  • Worldwide gross stands at 835.30 crore (India gross 724.80 crore, overseas about 110.5 crore), making it 2025’s highest-grossing Indian film globally.
  • Koimoi notes the film is about 75.42 crore short of Animal’s 910.72 crore worldwide total for a top-10 all-time spot, and current theatrical saturation makes that climb unlikely.
  • Using Koimoi’s calculations on a reported 125 crore budget, the India run reflects roughly 391% ROI, though these returns rely on tracker estimates and reported costs.
  • The Hindi-dubbed version has collected 220.54 crore net in 36 days in India, which Koimoi estimates as a 267.56% return on a reported 60 crore cost, as overall momentum eases post-OTT debut.
