Why does this story matter?
After releasing in Kannada, Kantara, written and directed by Shetty received extremely positive reviews. So much so that the film was dubbed and released in other languages too, weeks after its premiere. And in all versions, the film performed well. So, its OTT debut has been a much-awaited update. Though this news is not official, it is still making the headlines.
Third highest-grossing Kannada film of all time
As per the latest reports, Kantara has collected a whopping Rs. 171.41cr gross in all languages at the worldwide box office after running in the cinema halls for 20 days, beating Vikrant Rona and 777 Charlie. It is now the third highest-grossing Kannada film of all time, while the two parts of the KGF franchise have occupied the first and second positions.
Will it beat the record set by 'KGF: Chapter 1'?
With the kind of positive response that the film has been receiving, it has the potential to beat the record set by KGF: Chapter 1 and become the second-highest grosser in Karnataka. To note, the Yash starrer minted Rs. 240cr in its lifetime run at the cinema halls. But Kantara's early OTT entry may stand as an obstacle to achieving the feat.
