Kantara Chapter 1 has eclipsed the lifetime India net collection of SS Rajamouli's masterpiece, Baahubali-The Beginning, which brought in Rs 420 crore net, and Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran's neo-noir action thriller Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, which brought in Rs 406.45 crore.
Kantara's prequel has achieved a number of notable achievements, including becoming the second-highest grossing Kannada film ever with multiple awards. In addition to being one of the highest-grossing Indian films of 2025, it became the second-highest-grossing Indian film of the same year and the highest-grossing Kannada film. Furthermore, Kantara Chapter 1 conflicted with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, which was supported by Karan Johar and starred Janhvi Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Rohit Saraf, and Sanya Malhotra. Varun's picture is still struggling and hasn't even made Rs 50 crore at the domestic box office, whereas Rishab's flick came out on top.
What Is Kantara Chapter 1 About?
Jayaram, Gulshan Devaiah, and Rukmini Vasanth all have important parts in the film, which stars Rishab Shetty. The movie is based on the history covered in the first film and is set in pre-colonial coastal Karnataka. The prequel combines action, spirituality, and local mythology as it delves into the lore and the Buta Kola ritual's ancient origins.
