Kantara Chapter 1 (Hindi) has scored a good extended weekend of almost 70 crore nett and the trend is also good with Saturday and Sunday being ahead of the first day. The business is a little lopsided with Maharashtra and other pockets where south dubbed films being excellent while others range from good to average.

The film is has collected over 31 crore nett in Mumbai circuit over the four days but business in Delhi / UP is just average at 11 crore nett. It is no surprise that NCR is less but UP side has also not given the performance it should with Kantara 2 being a mass film.  The film had some hype mainly within the industry and trade as Kantara (2022) was a much appreciated film but this did not really materialize with the public outside Maharashtra. 

The comparisons were films like Bahubali, KGF and Pushpa but those films really broke out across the country be at the box office or on satellite post release which led to the second parts breaking records. This has not been the case for Kantara and its reflected in the box office results. The film has done much better in Maharashtra and South (regional versions) which sort of tells about its appeal. The figures from South will be update later though collections look set to be in around 215 crore nett on all versions

Now its about the Monday and after and Kantara 2 should do well enough especially in Maharashtra, CP Berar and Odisha for the film to be a HIT but collections can be lacking in many circuits. The collections of Kantara Chapter 1 in Hindi till date are as follows.

Thursday - 17,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 19,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 21,50,00,000 apprx
