Kantara: Chapter 1, starring Rishab Shetty in the lead role, along with Rukmini Vasanth and Gulshan Devaiah, is set for its theatrical release. The advance booking of the much-awaited film opened this morning, September 28, and the initial response is quite decent.

Bankrolled by Hombale Films, the Pan-Indian film sold around 7,200 tickets in the top two national chains—PVR Inox and Cinepolis —for the opening day. Of this, 6000 admissions were recorded at PVR Inox, while the remaining 1200 were sold by Cinepolis, as per the data available at 11 PM (September 28).

Kantara: Chapter 1 kick-starts pre-sales on a decent note

So far, the advance booking in Hindi is decent. With three days still to go, the movie has the potential to generate strong pre-sales before its premiere. If Kantara: Chapter 1 experiences a significant surge in the next couple of days, it will ensure a strong opening day at the Hindi box office. 

The trailer of Kantara: Chapter 1 opened to a majorly positive reception. Based on the hype and buzz among the audience, the movie has a good chance of opening somewhere close to Rs 20 crore in Hindi. However, it is the word of mouth that will determine whether the prequel can rewrite history for Kannada cinema by matching the glory of the original part.
