Kantara Chapter 1 India Gross Beats GBU - Coolie World

We had reported that Kantara Chapter 1 making Rs 50 crore gross in Tamil Nadu was great and that it was second highest in South. A different look at statement. It says that the combined worldwide gross of two top Tamil films GBU and Coolie will not come close to combined India gross of Kantara Chapter 1. Secondly the expected total gross of Rs 650 crores is much below the Rs 1500 crores that was expected. Thirdly the film Tamil Nadu run has ended with new Diwali releases and on Oct 21 Thamma ( Ayushman Khuranna)will end the North run. READ ON: Kantara disappoints despite a near ₹550 Crore Gross At last The movie finally made ₹50 Crore and stands at ₹51.66 Crore just before the Diwali Run in TN With the screen count falling from 306 to 52 , the films run is almost completely over Bison, Diesel and Dude share 1196 Screens with the FIRST TIME that B+C centers run short of fodder Bison (384) , Dude (355) and Diesel (247) with 210 Screens being free run (Any one of the 3 films) However Kantaras Run across India was very impressive ₹ 178.68 Crore in the Hindi Market , not exactly a KGF 2 moment but still impressive ₹ 166 Crore in Karnataka ₹ 90.55 Crore in AP/TG ₹ 51.66 Crore in TN ₹42.33 Crore in KL Around ₹540 — ₹550 Crore in India alone ________________________________________ Unfortunately the Gross did not match up to the massive hype of the film that was expected to gross ₹1500 Crore by pundits Too much Hindutva - was the verdict by the South Indian Gen Z My Young neighbors in Bangalore said “We watched because it's a Kannada film and we love the Shettys but there is too much Hindu mythology for our liking” Nonetheless Karnataka and Mumbai and Delhi are still running Kantara in multiple screens Bollywood has no major Diwali release until THAMMA hits the screens on 21st and has a whopping 790 screen release, a record for Ayushmaan Khurana Let's hope for a ₹650 Crore finish Unfortunately this gross in India alone beats anything Tamil Films Grossed Worldwide this year GBU managed a limp ₹207.73 Crore Gross across India while Coolie managed a nice ₹363.85 Crore Gross Their combined total is almost what Kantara alone grossed ________________________________________
