Kantara: Chapter 1 grossed Rs. 27.50 crore approx in its fourth weekend at the Indian box office, down just 33 per cent from its third weekend. The third weekend was adversely affected by the pre-Diwali period, but still, this is a very impressive hold coming out of the holiday period and competition from Diwali releases in North India.
The running total has now reached Rs. 667 crore. It has now entered the top ten highest-grossing films of all time in India, currently positioned at eighth place, ahead of Animal (Rs. 660 crore). It will soon climb two places up. Also, it now stands just Rs. 23 crore away from surpassing Chhaava and becoming the highest grosser of the year. Furthermore, hitting Rs. 700 crore has become highly likely, with the film now looking at a finish somewhere from Rs. 705 crore to Rs. 725 crore.
