The Kannada version is likely to earn the most, but the Hindi version is also expected to do well. Experts predict that the Hindi dubbed version could collect around Rs. 15-20 crore on its first day. This shows that the film has a strong fan base and people are curious to see it in theatres.
Reviews and Audience Reaction
The film has received mostly positive reviews from critics. The Free Press Journal gave it 3.5 stars and wrote, “Considering that Kantara A Legend: Chapter 1 is being released on Dussehra, it could just work in the film’s favour in addition to its loyal audience and word of mouth. The flip side, however, is the lack of required publicity and awareness of the film, which could act as a roadblock. Overall, if you want to experience the unfolding of cinema’s magic, this film earns our recommendation!”

Many viewers have praised the movie for its story, visuals, and performances, especially Rishab Shetty’s acting. The festive timing of the release is also expected to attract more audiences to theatres. Word of mouth and family outings during Dussehra are likely to give the film an extra boost in ticket sales.
Box Office Expectations
The makers have not officially revealed the budget, but reports suggest that the film was made on a large budget of Rs. 125 crore. With the current trend of ticket sales and the excitement around the movie, it is expected that Kantara Chapter 1 could recover its budget within two to three days of release. If the positive reviews continue and audience turnout remains high, the film may turn into one of the biggest hits of 2025.
