Even though the collections of Ram Setu and Thank God saw a significant dip after Diwali, the mythological action film has maintained a steady upward trend. The Hindi version of Kantara has already beat the lifetime collection of KGF: Chapter 1 (Hindi), according to film trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

Kantara stars Rishab Shetty, Sapthami Gowda, Kishore and Achyuth Kumar in key roles. Produced by Hombale Films, the makers of the blockbuster KGF franchise, the film is still going strong at the box office and is expected to break several more records in days to come.
