Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 has finally arrived, and the response from the audience speaks volumes. The film opened to a strong start across India, especially in the Hindi belts where fans were eagerly waiting to witness the magic unfold once again.
The movie, which explores mythology, faith, and divine power, continues the world that Kantara created. But this time, it’s on a grander scale, and the early signs show that audiences are once again hooked to Rishab Shetty’s storytelling.
A Positive Start Despite Heavy Competition
The film faced some tough competition right from Day 1. Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (SSKTK) was also released on the same day, leading to a box office clash in the Hindi circuit. Despite that, Kantara Chapter 1 managed to pull a strong crowd, especially in mass centers and multiplexes in North India.
The Gandhi Jayanti and Dussehra holiday weekend helped Kantara Chapter 1 secure good occupancy. Rishab Shetty’s growing fanbase in the Hindi market has clearly helped the film maintain momentum.
Kantara Chapter 1 Day 2 Hindi Box Office Collection
After a solid opening day, Kantara Chapter 1 witnessed a noticeable drop on its second day, which was expected since it was a working Friday. Still, the film maintained a double-digit figure — proving its strong word of mouth and brand recall value.
According to early estimates, Kantara Chapter 1 collected Rs 13.50 crore on Day 2 in Hindi. With this, the total two-day collection now stands at Rs 32 crore nett (Hindi) across India. The hold is decent, and Saturday and Sunday are expected to show a strong jump.
The Power Of Rishab Shetty’s Storytelling
What’s working most for Kantara Chapter 1 is its rooted storytelling and emotional intensity. The film’s mythological tone, coupled with stunning visuals and background score, has connected deeply with the audience. Rishab Shetty once again delivers a performance that leaves you in awe, portraying both strength and devotion in equal measure.
Viewers have also praised how Kantara Chapter 1 blends folklore with cinematic grandeur. It’s not just a sequel — it’s an experience that continues to expand the Kantara universe.
Weekend Outlook For Kantara Chapter 1
With Saturday and Sunday ahead, Kantara Chapter 1 is expected to bounce back with higher numbers. Word of mouth is solid, and with the extended holiday advantage still in play, the film could easily cross a strong weekend total.
If the Hindi version continues to perform steadily, it could emerge as one of the most successful dubbed films of 2025. The real test, however, will be the weekday hold, which will determine how big this divine saga can truly go.
Final Verdict
Kantara Chapter 1 may have seen a drop on its second day, but its overall box office trend remains positive. The divine connection, spiritual storyline, and Rishab Shetty’s power-packed performance are keeping the film strong at the box office. The weekend will decide if this chapter can match — or even surpass — the first Kantara’s magic.
