Kantara Chapter 1, starring Rishab Shetty, Rukmini Vasanth, Jayaram, and Gulshan Devaiah in key roles, enjoyed a glorious theatrical run and is currently the highest-grossing film of 2025. Amid this, the Kannada magnum opus has now finally concluded its run in the home state of Karnataka. It justified the hype by becoming the first film to gross 200 crores in the state, and almost touched the 250 crore mark at the box office. Now that it has ended its run, let’s compare it with KGF Chapter 2.
The Kannada mythological action drama carried a huge pre-release buzz. Since Kantara (2022) was a big success and also enjoyed appreciation for its content, the hype was big for the prequel. As expected, the prequel had a fantastic start, and since the audience reception was positive, it managed to stay in theaters for over 50 days.
Kantara Chapter 1 concludes its run at the Karnataka box office
After a start of over 23 crore gross, Kantara Chapter 1 covered a long distance, earning over 10 times its opening-day collection. According to the final collection update, the magnum opus has earned approximately 247.5 crore gross at the Karnataka box office. This is truly remarkable and the highest collection ever for a film in the state.
