Kantara: Chapter 1, as expected, has become the talk of the town. The offering that comes from Kannada cinema is accepted even among the Hindi audiences, and the growing Box Office collection is proof of the same. After some downfall on the first Friday, Rishab Shetty's movie witnessed huge growth again on the first Saturday. This suggests that the first weekend for the movie from its Hindi dubbed version itself could end up earning Rs. 70 crore within the opening weekend.
According to early trends reported on Sacnilk, the Hindi dubbed version of Kantara: Chapter 1 saw over 50% jump and matched the opening day numbers. The movie has earned approximately Rs. 20 crore on day 3 i.e. the first Saturday itself.

With Rs. 60 crore net Box Office earnings on opening day, Kantara: Chapter 1 earned back half of its budget (Rs. 125 crore) on day 1 itself. The movie is sure to become the biggest blockbuster, and the question now is, can it beat Yash's KGF: Chapter 2 Box Office records as well?
