Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1 (Hindi) Day 5 Early Estimates: Maintains Strong Grip At The Box Office

Mumbai, October 6 - Rishab Shetty's period folk action thriller Kantara Chapter 1 continues its impressive box office run in the Hindi version, showing strong weekday hold after a solid extended opening weekend. The film, which has been riding on positive word of mouth, is maintaining steady momentum despite the usual post-weekend slowdown.

After scoring approximately 73.50 crores net in its 4-day extended opening weekend, the prequel is showing a good hold on its first Monday. According to early estimates, Kantara Chapter 1 has collected around 8.50-9.50 crores net on Day 5, marking only around a 30% drop from Friday, a solid trend for a dubbed film in its first weekday phase.

With this, the total Hindi collection of the Kannada blockbuster stands at around 82 crores net after 5 days. It will cross Kantara (85 crores net) on its 5th day, and will become the second biggest Kannada grosser in Hindi. The film is firmly heading towards the 100 crores mark within its first week, a feat that underlines its growing interest among North Indian audiences.

Overall, the all-time collection of Kantara 2 is expected to be 35+ crores gross on day 5, as per estimates. The film's blend of rooted storytelling, grand visuals, and Rishab Shetty's powerful performance has clearly struck a chord beyond its home market. The strong hold on Monday also indicates that the film's run is far from over.
