Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 is unstoppable even after more than a month of release. The film continues to draw crowds to theatres defying all expectations. What’s even more remarkable is that despite its availability on OTT in several languages the film is still seeing a major surge in collections something very few Indian films manage at this stage. How much did Kantara earn? According to Sacnilk the film’s Hindi and Kannada versions are the key drivers of its ongoing success. On its 34th day in theatres Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 collected Rs 1.42 crore out of which Rs 1.1 crore came from the Hindi version alone. This marks a nearly 70% jump compared to Monday’s Rs 65 lakh while the Kannada version also showed growth earning Rs 28 lakh on Tuesday after Rs 25 lakh on Monday. The OTT response? The film was released on Amazon Prime Video on October 31 2025 in four South Indian languages Kannada Tamil Telugu and Malayalam. However the Hindi version is yet to release on OTT a decision that appears to have paid off for the makers. This delay has encouraged audiences in North India to experience the film in theatres instead of waiting for the streaming release. The strategy has extended its theatrical life significantly. Even after 34 days footfalls in several multiplexes remain steady particularly for the Hindi version. Meanwhile the OTT release has sparked discussions online introducing new audiences to Rishab Shetty’s world of Kantara and increasing anticipation for the Hindi streaming debut.
