Kantara Chapter 1 Chases Chhaava's Box Office Record in 2025

As of October 29th, 2025, Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1 has emerged as a major box office success, joining the exclusive 800 crore club worldwide. The film is now chasing the record held by Chhaava, which grossed 827.06 crores to become the highest-earning Indian movie of 2025 globally.

Kantara Chapter 1 has already accumulated 596.65 crores at the Indian box office in just 27 days, making it the second-highest grossing Kannada film of all time. It has also surpassed other major releases to become the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025 so far. The film's impressive performance has been driven by strong word-of-mouth and critical acclaim for its epic mythological action sequences.

While facing competition from other releases like Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat and Thamma, Kantara Chapter 1 has continued to perform steadily at the overseas box office, adding 110.15 crores to its worldwide total of 814.19 crores. The film is now poised to overtake Chhaava and emerge as the highest-grossing Indian movie of 2025 globally. However, it still needs to earn over 96 crores to enter the top 10 Indian grossers of all time worldwide.
