Rishab Shetty’s ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’ sets new box office records, becoming the fastest film to cross ₹150 crore in Karnataka.
Story about Rishab Shetty’s Kantara 1 is rewriting the box office history of Karnataka. A singularly important hit release from the week has not arrived this weekend to take away the unusual hype, hence this is again a choice of the connoisseurs.
The Raja-Kumara spiritual action drama did cross the ₹500 crore gross mark worldwide, classifying it as one of the spectacular 2025 blockbusters.
Fastest film to gross ₹150 crore in Karnataka
In the home state, Kantara: Chapter 1 is running what trade experts call “beast mode.” It became the fastest-ever film to gross ₹150 crore in Karnataka, beyond the ₹150 crore mark, setting a new regional record. Our very next step will be to cross over double grossing of the original ‘Kantara’ (2022) to become the highest-grossing film in Karnataka.
A milestone for Sandalwood Cinema
While 'KGF Chapter 2' still remains the biggest Sandalwood grosser worldwide, the Kantara series has well-established its dominance within Karnataka. The amalgamation of folklore, spirituality, and powerful storytelling that once drew viewers has again struck a chord with them.
Star Power and Production
Produced under Hombale Films as the production venture of Vijay Kiragandur, the movie stars Rishab Shetty, Rukmini Vasanth, Gulshan Devaiah, and Jayaram in pivotal roles. With gripping stories and astonishing visuals, the film already enjoys gigantic audiences and is establishing itself amongst the most accepted Kannada releases of present times.
