The Rishab Shetty film Kantara which he wrote, directed, and starred in hit theaters last month. Since its release, the movie has gained critical acclaim from both critics and viewers alike. While at the box office it began well but grew exponentially through continued support from audiences. Currently, there are no projections for how much longer it will maintain this rate of success but with many people still flocking to see it, it will continue making profits until other films come out or something else takes over people’s attention.
In this Box Office Report, we examine the recent hits of Kantara in comparison to other popular Indian movies that were also dubbed into Hindi. With Rs. 51.56 crore earned at the box office so far, Kantara has managed to make it onto the top ten all time highest grossing list for Indian movies released in Hindi. Moreover, becoming the 8th highest earning movie out of those translated into Hindi from another language, Kantara managed to beat out previous releases like KGF – Chapter 1 which made Rs. 44.09 crore and Karthikeya 2 which earned Rs. 31 lakhs or $45 thousand USD respectively. Still topping both lists are major blockbuster hits such as Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion (Rs 100 crores), KGF-Chapter 2 (Rs 76 crores), RRR (Rs 55 crores) etc., but Kantara is still running on screen thanks to its immense popularity among audiences around India!
Currently, Kantara still remains popular among movie-goers despite newer films being released to theaters. Trade Predictions (based off of profits) state that Kantara’s business will continue to grow for the upcoming weeks. In fact, some experts believe that it may even reach up towards Rs. 60 crores by the end of its fourth weekend debuting in theaters.
