Kantara Chapter 1 started its third week with Rs. 9.25-9.50 crore approx yesterday. The drop from the 2nd Friday is around 65 per cent, which is a bit steep. The drop was steepest in Tamil Nadu and Telugu states at over 70 per cent due to the arrival of Diwali releases. Karnataka was better at 60 per cent.

The Hindi belt held the best with a 50 per cent week-on-week drop, remaining on par with the previous day. Since there was no release in Hindi this week, the film could have shown some growth from Thursday. However, with the pre-Diwali effect getting in, that probably kept it from doing so.

The Box Office Collections of Kantara Chapter 1 in India are as follows: Day Gross Week One (8 days) Rs. 383.25 cr. Week Two Rs. 168.50 cr. 2nd Friday Rs. 9.50 cr. Total Rs. 561.25 cr.
