Outshines KGF Chapter 2
Yash’s KGF Chapter 2 is the highest-grossing Kannada film in history! It registered a morning occupancy of 23.33% during its morning shows on the first Monday, in its home ground. In comparison, Rishab Shetty’s directorial is leading with almost 90% higher admissions. This is a hint enough that Kantara Chapter 1 is heading for a bumper Monday at the Indian box office.
It is to be noted that KGF Chapter 2 earned 6.53 crores on its fifth day, a 71% drop from the opening day. Hopefully, the Kantara prequel will hold its fort and witness a less than 50% decline compared to the 19.6 crores garnered on Thursday.
