The unstoppable run of Kantara Chapter 1 has officially rewritten box office history! Rishab Shetty’s mystical action saga has dethroned Vicky Kaushal’s Chhava, claiming the title of the highest-grossing film of 2025.
Released on October 2, Kantara Chapter 1 continues to dominate theatres even after nearly a month of release. Audiences are still lining up to experience its gripping story and powerful performances.
26 Days and Still Roaring!
According to Sacnilk reports, Kantara Chapter 1 earned an impressive ₹3.25 crore on its 26th day, pushing its total India collection to ₹592.85 crore.
Worldwide, the film has crossed a jaw-dropping ₹813 crore, smashing every benchmark set earlier this year. The craze for the film shows no signs of slowing down, and it continues to trend across social media platforms with fans praising its action sequences, cinematography, and emotional depth.
Vicky Kaushal’s ‘Chhava’ Left Behind
Vicky Kaushal’s Chhava, which had ruled the charts earlier this year with a global collection of ₹807.91 crore, has now been overtaken. Kantara Chapter 1 is ahead by a solid ₹5.09 crore — a gap that’s expected to widen as the film continues its spectacular run.
This achievement cements Rishab Shetty’s position as one of the most visionary filmmakers in Indian cinema today.
The Cast That Won Hearts
Rishab Shetty not only directed the film but also delivered a stellar performance in the lead role. The ensemble cast featuring Rukmini Vasanth, Gulshan Devaiah, and Jayaram has been widely appreciated for their gripping portrayals.
From breathtaking action sequences to emotionally charged moments, Kantara Chapter 1 has managed to outshine even its predecessor, proving that lightning can indeed strike twice.
The Journey Ahead
With the festive season still on and no major competition in theatres, Kantara Chapter 1 is expected to continue its golden run. Industry experts predict that it might even cross the ₹850 crore mark in the coming days.
Fans are now eagerly waiting for the official announcement of Kantara Chapter 2, hoping Rishab Shetty brings back the same magic once again.
