Although Kantara: Chapter 1 did finally enter Rs. 200 crore club in Hindi, it still did not beat the feat achieved by Yash's KGF: Chapter 2 in the Hindi language.

After almost a month of its theatrical run, Kantara: Chapter 1 touted to be a monstrous hit, has entered Rs. 200 crore club in Hindi. Once common for Bollywood superstars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan’s movies, Rs. 200 crore club has become prestigious for the Hindi cinema now. While a movie like Kantara prequel was expected to cross the mark early on, it has taken almost a month for the movie to get there. However, since trade experts predicted that the film would end its lifetime run at Rs. 175 crore, Kantara: Chapter 1 is leaving a mark even before ending its Box Office run through entering Rs. 200 crore club.

Kantara: Chapter 1 earned Rs. 4.25 crore net on day 24 i.e. on its fourth Saturday. This helped the movie enter Rs. 200 crore club. Rishab Shetty-starrer Kantara: Chapter 1 has earmed Rs. 201.37 crore net till day 24. Although Kantara: Chapter 1 surpasses various domestic Hindi films' Box Office collection with the earnings, it is not an impressive feat by itself given the magnitude of the franchise.
Kantara: Chapter 1 has supposedly outdone Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava with the worldwide Box Office gross collection before the fifth weekend. The movie crossed Rs. 818 crore gross worldwide, while Chhaava's Box Office collection worldwide was Rs. 807.91 crore gross.
If following the current Box Office trend, Kantara: Chapter 1 is unlikely to even come close to Rs. 250 crore mark before ending its Box Office run, unless people chose the pan-Indian film, which is primarily from the Kannada film industry, over Thamma and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. Although the doors are not completely shut on Kantara: Chapter 1's miraculous Box Office rise over the fifth weekend given how Thamma has been underperforming, it would still be tough for the movie to earn Rs. 250 crore net before its lifetime run (expected to be out of theatres within a week at max). Needless to say, Kantara: Chapter 1's impact at the Hindi Box Office is not even close to what Yash's KGF: Chapter 2 was. The movie crossed Rs. 100 crore net within the first weekend itself and earned Rs. 435.33 crore net in its lifetime run in Hindi version alone.
