The Kannada film, 'Kantara', is winning hearts across the country.
After a bumper Diwali weekend, the filmmaker-actor Rishab Shetty's latest release minted Rs 170 crore in India and Rs 18 crore overseas. With a total collection of Rs 188 crore (worldwide gross), the movie is now the second-highest grossing Kannada film of all time after Yash-starrer 'KGF: 2' - which made Rs 1,207 crore globally.
'Kantara' has managed to cross Sudeep-led 'Vikrant Rona' with Rs 158 crore collection, Puneeth Rajkumar-starrer James with Rs 151 crore and 'KGF: Chapter 1' with Rs 250 crore.
Production house Hombale Films, which also bankrolled 'Kantara', besides 'KGF 1' and 'KGF 2', was excited to share the Shetty-directorial's successful run in the theatres for over 25 days.
Shetty took to social media to share that 'Kantara' is Hombale's most-viewed film in Karnataka.
The AndhraBoxOffice.com clarified that 'KGF 2' had higher pricing and thus made more money at the box-office, but 'Kantara' has the highest footfall.
Experts believe the movie will cross the Rs 200 crore-mark before the end of the fourth week. 'Kantara' has raked in Rs 111 crore approximately so far in Karnataka, with Rs 14 crore the fourth weekend, which is double the full fourth week of 'KGF', reports say.
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to social media to share that the Hindi version of the film, which was released on October 14, has collected a total of Rs 24.15 crore in the domestic market. However, the second week was 'rocky' compared to the first week.
Another movie trade analyst Rohit Jaiswal said that 'Kantara' (Hindi) was unstoppable with a Diwali day collection of Rs 1.90 crore. "(The movie) will get a massive boost from today," he wrote.
The film features Shetty and Sapthami Gowda as the lead and has been written and directed by Shetty himself.
Produced by Vijay Kiragandur, 'Kantara' has music by B. Ajaneesh Loknath.
