Overview

• Industry estimates put the film’s India net at roughly ₹223–223.75 crore after an extended opening weekend, with Sunday contributing about ₹61–61.5 crore.
• Kantara: Chapter 1 is pegged at roughly ₹300–325 crore worldwide gross in four days, reportedly overtaking KGF Chapter 1 and HanuMan to rank among Kannada cinema’s top three grossers.
• Language-wise momentum broadened beyond Karnataka, with trade data indicating the Hindi version grew through the weekend and on Sunday out-earned Kannada (₹23.5 crore vs ₹15.5 crore).
• Occupancy remained exceptional across formats, with Kannada shows frequently above 90% and strong gains reported in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam markets.
• Most reported box-office figures come from trade trackers such as Sacnilk rather than official studio statements, as the makers also appealed to audiences to avoid piracy and theatre recordings.
