Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 has rewritten box office record with a thunderous Day 1 worldwide collection of 89 crore+, thus becoming among Indian cinema’s biggest openers. The film witnessed an extraordinary 1.28 million+ tickets sold on release day on BookMyShow, which is highest for an Indian movie in 2025.
The monumental opening came with jam-packed theatres across the country, and Day 2 has also begun with impressive advance bookings. The movie registers over 60K ticket sales every hour on BMS. Coinciding with the festive Dussehra wave, trade experts predict the momentum will only surge further.
Rishab Shetty’s commanding performance both in front of and behind the camera, with an engaging narrative with divine themes, is one of the biggest reasons for the massive response.
Trade pundits are also forecasting the film to become one of the biggest earners, given the overwhelming response it received from all corners.
