“Kantara Chapter 1” Continues to Roar Loud

Rishab Shetty’s masterpiece, “Kantara Chapter 1,” is having a dream run at the box office. The movie is a prequel to the 2022 blockbuster Kantara. It has captured the attention of audiences across the nation.

On its 15th day, which is Thursday, the film collected an impressive Rs 8.9 Crore (Net India Collection). This collection is an early estimate from trade sources.

The film has maintained its momentum since the second week. It is set to cross the massive Rs 500 Crore mark very soon. The film’s total collection so far is phenomenal. It is now counted among the highest-grossing Indian films of 2025.

This proves that a strong story and rooted culture resonate with people. Its performance in different languages has been excellent. The film is doing well in Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil markets. Positive word-of-mouth continues to drive footfall in theatres.

“Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari” Sees Major Drop

In contrast, the Bollywood romantic-comedy, “Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari,” is struggling. The film stars Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor. It had a decent opening but failed to keep the pace. On its 15th day in theaters, the collection dropped sharply. The film managed to earn only around Rs 1 Crore (Net India Collection).

This big drop shows the film is facing tough competition. The mega-hit “Kantara Chapter 1” has clearly overshadowed it. The total collection for “Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari” is slow.

It is showing weak performance during the weekdays. Trade analysts believe the film’s theatrical run might end soon if the collections do not improve this coming weekend.

South Film “Idli Kadai” Struggles to Keep Audience

Another release, the regional film “Idli Kadai,” also saw low numbers. This movie is in its third week. It is a Dhanush directorial. On its 16th day in the box office, the film earned a mere Rs 0.34 Crore (Net India Collection).

“Idli Kadai” saw a noticeable decline in its daily earnings. This is a common trend for films after the first successful week. The collections are dipping very fast now. The film’s total box office collection is very low compared to the major releases. It seems the film’s run in the theatres is nearing its end.

Overall Trend

The latest box office chart shows a clear picture. High-quality content with a strong narrative, like “Kantara Chapter 1,” is dominating. Films relying only on star power face difficulties, especially when the competition is strong. “Kantara Chapter 1” is all set to break more records in the coming days. It is truly a remarkable success story for Indian cinema this year.
