Kantara Hindi Box Office Collection: Rishab Shetty’s film outperforms major regional hits
Kantara Hindi Box Office Collection: Rishab Shetty’s directorial Kantara has managed to leave an impression on the fans which will be felt in the coming time. After Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rise became a huge hit in the Hindi region and its dubbed version grossed over Rs 100 crore, many regional movies have been making inroads into the Northern regions. The latest one to impress the fans is Kantara, which hit the big screens with Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions on October 14 after becoming a huge regional success.
Kantara takes on big Bollywood releases
While it was believed that Kantara would be challenged by the latest Bollywood releases Ram Setu and Thank God, the regional film has held its ground and the numbers have shown a slow but steady increase. After over two weeks of running in cinema halls, the Hindi version has managed to earn Rs 32 crore. The week one business was Rs 15 crore and the week two collections stood at Rs 16.70 crore. Not only is the week two business of the film higher than week one, but it has also stood tall in the face of major opposition from Hindi films and the Hollywood release Black Adam.
