The film records impressive numbers even before release
Rishab Shetty’s much-anticipated film Kantara: Chapter 1 opened for advance bookings well ahead of its theatrical release, and the response has been extremely encouraging. The film has already garnered a decent advance booking collection, indicating strong anticipation among the audience.
Low-Key Promotion, Yet Massive Buzz
Scheduled to release on October 2nd, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti, Rishab Shetty chose to promote the film in a relatively understated manner. However, he seems confident that audiences who watched the first part will return to theatres to experience the sequel. The buzz around the film is evident from its advance booking trends alone.
High Demand Leads to Early Morning Shows
Due to the overwhelming demand, the makers have scheduled early morning shows starting from 6 AM. Advance bookings opened on September 28, and within just three days, the film raked in impressive numbers. According to Sacnilk, Kantara: Chapter 1 has earned a total of ₹6.83 crore from advance bookings alone — and that’s excluding blocked seats.
Kannada Version Leads Ticket Sales
Unsurprisingly, the highest ticket sales have come from the film’s Kannada version, as the film originates from the Kannada industry and authentically represents the local culture. Kannada cinema has been gaining national attention, thanks to hits like KGF and the original Kantara. In total, over 2.52 lakh tickets have been sold for the Kannada version alone. The Hindi version has also performed decently in advance bookings.
