It's now the second-biggest Indian film of the year—right after Chhava—and joins blockbuster heavyweights like Baahubali and KGF Chapter 2 in the ₹500 crore club.

'Kantara' nears ₹600 crore mark

Kantara started huge with ₹337 crore in week one, then kept up momentum even as new Diwali movies hit theaters.
By week three, it had reached ₹557.15 crore and even overtook Pathaan to break into India's all-time top 10.
With its Prime Video debut set for October 30, experts say it could cross ₹600 crore—thanks to an engaging story and some pretty stunning visuals.
