Kantara Chapter 1 Box Office Prediction Day 1: The eagerly awaited movie Kantara Chapter 1 marks Rishab Shetty's big-screen return. The Kannada film, a prelude to the 2022 blockbuster Kantara, premiered on October 2 on Gandhi Jayanti, marking the start of the Kantara tale. With the potential to showcase the enigmas, spiritual profundity, and cultural diversity of Karnataka's folklore realm on a larger scale, the film's excitement has been rapidly increasing.
Kantara Chapter 1 has reportedly made an estimated Rs 18.85 crore to date, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. It is anticipated that Dussehra holiday spot reservations and walk-ins will increase collections even more, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 locations where Rishab Shetty's storytelling is favored by single-screen domination.
