Kantara: Chapter 1 Claims 2025 Box-Office Crown as Studio Touts ₹800 Crore+, Independent Trackers Dispute

An English-language theatrical cut arrives on October 31 with a shorter runtime to widen the film’s reach.

Overview

  • Hombale Films says the Rishab Shetty prequel has reached about ₹809 crore worldwide and surpassed Chhaava’s ₹807 crore, while trackers like Sacnilk place the total closer to ₹748–775 crore after three weeks.
  • In India, the film has collected roughly ₹557–564 crore net by day 21–22 across languages, placing it among the year’s top domestic performers, according to trade tallies.
  • The Hindi-dubbed run crossed ₹180 crore by the end of week three and is on course for the ₹200 crore club, based on estimates from Pinkvilla and other trade outlets.
  • A global English-dub release is set for October 31, with promotional materials listing a 2h14m runtime versus the original’s 2h48m.
  • The film maintained strong third-week holds through the Diwali period despite new releases such as Thamma and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, and its reported ~₹125 crore budget points to significant profitability.
