Kantara Chapter 1 (Kantara 2) Box Office Day 3 LIVE Updates & Review — Rishab Shetty’s Film Smashes Records
Quick take: Kantara: Chapter 1 has charged past the ₹200 crore worldwide mark within three days of release and continued to record strong growth on Day 3 — driven by stellar Hindi belt numbers and robust occupancy across South Indian markets.

India (gross): ~₹192–195.5 crore (3 days)
Overseas (gross): ~₹42.6 crore+
Worldwide (gross): ~₹225–235 crore (3 days)

- Malayalam: ~₹4.25 cr (Day 3).
Occupancies for evening/night shows jumped across languages, showing excellent weekend traction.
Review (Early Verdict)
Verdict: Ambitious and visually grand, but occasionally uneven.
Why it works: Large-scale production design, Rishab Shetty’s committed performance, strong emotional beats and mythology that connect with the mass audience.
What critics note: Some reviewers point to pacing & narrative stretches — a common tradeoff when building a franchise-scale chapter. Replace these summary lines with direct quotes from established critics (Filmfare, NDTV, India Today) where possible.
Records & Comparisons
- Has become one of the highest-grossing Kannada films within 3 days (surpassed several recent big films' lifetime numbers in the same timeframe).
- Strong Saturday growth suggests an extended-weekend surge; early projections suggest a shot at ₹300 crore+ worldwide over the long weekend (trade estimates).
Trade Analysis — What this means
Strong Hindi belt performance shows the film’s pan-India potential. The overseas returns are healthy for a regional film, indicating cross-border appeal for the franchise. Studios and exhibitors will likely increase screens in Hindi and Telugu circuits for Day 4 and beyond.
