With its current momentum, the Hindi version is on track to cross the ₹100 crore mark soon, mirroring the success of the Kannada version. Trade sees this as a positive sign for the expansion of regional cinema in Hindi markets, showcasing that well-made stories can attract audiences nationwide. However, it won't be among the 5 biggest Pan-India grossers by miles.
Kantara Chapter 1 is the prequel to the popular Kantara franchise, and its success reflects the growing popularity of regional films across India. The film’s storyline, performances, and technical finesse have contributed to its pan-India reach, resonating with audiences outside the Kannada-speaking market.
As Kantara Chapter 1 continues its theatrical run, both the Kannada and Hindi versions are set to achieve milestones, strengthening its position as one of the notable successes of 2025. The film is made on the budget of Rs. 150 crore and will be aiming for 400 crore+ total at the worldwide box office.
