Top 10 South Indian dubbed movies Opening Day in Hindi: Kantara Chapter 1 takes 8th spot, Pushpa 2 leads
Rishab Shetty's Kantara: Chapter 1 witnessed a surge of 1500 percent on its opening day over the Day 1 Hindi net collections of Kantara: A Legend (2022). Details Inside.
Kantara: Chapter 1 earned Rs 17.50 crore on its opening day in Hindi, becoming the eighth largest South Indian dubbed movie opening. The Rishab Shetty-led divine saga was initially expected to open much higher; however, those hopes were dismissed when advance bookings were slow. Still, the movie has had a strong start, especially considering it was in direct competition with Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.
Bankrolled by Hombale Films, Kantara: Chapter 1 surpassed Game Changer and Devara on the opening day but remained far behind other big pan-Indian releases. Comparatively, KGF Chapter 2 still holds the record of the biggest Kannada film opening day record in Hindi, while the overall list is topped by Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2. This is because both gravity-defying action dramas carved cult fan bases among the masses.
Interestingly, the latest Rishab Shetty outing saw a surge of nearly 1500 percent over the opening day collection of its original part, Kantara: A Legend (2022). For the record, the original film had an opening of Rs 1.20 crore net in Hindi. Let's see how the movie performs over the weekend.
