Kantara: Chapter 1 earned Rs. Earned Rs. Around 3.50 crores in its sixth weekend. This marks another massive drop of approximately 65 percent compared to last weekend, which is largely due to its digital release. Nevertheless, the weekend business was enough to push its total earnings past Chhava, making it the highest-grossing film of the year in India. Although there’s still time to go in the year, Kantara is likely to remain on top unless Dhurandhar or Avatar 3 pulls off a massive surprise.
Overall, in the list of all-time grossing films, it is the eighth highest-grossing film in the country. In the next few days it will reach seventh place.
Running total Rs. 697 crores, which is slightly less than the figure of the seventh century. Ideally, record and Rs. The milestone of Rs 700 crore should have been achieved last week itself. Unfortunately, the digital release killed the film’s theatrical momentum, making it a long wait. The film should cross the line in Rs crore. Maybe 700 crores next time, although it may be a close call.
The film is probably incurring a loss of Rs 200 crore. Rs 15-20 crore due to early digital release. Practically speaking, it doesn’t really make a difference to the film, but it’s more about the impact this move will have on the overall business in the long run. The situation of making viewers wait for four or eight weeks only to watch premium movies for free is appalling. Today the loss may be only Rs 100. Ultimately there will be an earning of Rs 20 crore, but soon the initial business will also be affected. For that matter, it already has, as many midstream films have seen their theatrical audience base shrink in the post-pandemic era.
