KANTARA: A LEGEND – CHAPTER 1 (Hindi) has emerged a SUPER HIT film as it finally reached the 200 crore nett mark at the end of its sixth week. It is looking to end its business on 202 crore nett. The film did not look like getting to 200 crore nett but it did very well in its third and fourth weeks over the Diwali period.

The Diwali releases did not fare as well, as they could have over the festival, in Mumbai circuit be it Maharashtra or Gujarat and this really benefited KANTARA: A LEGEND – CHAPTER 1 as it did phenomenally well in the circuit in week three and week four. This fact can be illustrated by the collections as in week 3 and week 4 Mumbai circuit collected 20 crore nett while the collections in Delhi/UP were only 4.40 crore nett. 

The film has beaten the collections of SAIYAARA in Mumbai circuit as it finishes with a 92 crore nett total compared to the 89 crore nett of SAIYAARA. The story is different in the rest of the circuits with SAIYAARA being far ahead. The collections in Delhi/UP are less than half of SAIYAARA. The film has done very well to get to 200 crore nett from the initial it took.

The expectations within the industry were higher pre release but that sequel factor and huge likability of the first film did not translate into a great initial. This is probably because the film was nothing like a BAAHUBALI or PUSHPA on satellite and could not reach the wider audience. KANTARA: A LEGEND – CHAPTER 1 has turned out out to be a film for the classes outside Mumbai circuit and its this circuit which has made the film a big HIT.
