Kantara Chapter 1 earned ₹37 crore net in India on Saturday, its 10th day in theatres. This was a 66% jump from Friday and nearly a 75% increase from what the Rishab Shetty film collected on Thursday, the last day of its first week. The jump means that the film has now earned ₹396.65 crore net ( ₹476 crore gross) in India after 10 days. Given that the word of mouth for the film is extremely positive, it is likely to have a very strong second Sunday today, possibly earning over ₹40 crore in India alone.
Hombale Films, the production house behind Kantara Chapter 1, had announced on Friday that the period action drama earned ₹509 crore worldwide in its first week. By that metric, the film has reached ₹590 crore worldwide after 10 days. However, trade insiders in India estimate its earnings to be closer to ₹560 crore. Either way, it has managed to enter the top 25 highest-grossing Indian films of all time, edging out Tiger Zinda Hai and Dhoom 3 (both ₹558 crore) out of the list.
If the ₹590-crore figure is indeed accurate, then Kantara Chapter 1 has also surpassed the lifetime collections of other blockbusters like Saiyaara ( ₹570 crore), Padmaavat ( ₹585 crore), and Sanju ( ₹589 crore).
