Even after its second week, the movie is still holding sway at the box office. The movie made ₹8.85 crore on day 15. It made ₹8.5 crore on the third Friday of day 16 and ₹12.50 crore on the third Saturday. As a result, Rishab’s film has now brought in ₹506.25 crore in India.

Rishab Shetty recently appeared on Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, Amitabh Bachchan’s quiz show. In addition to praising him for helming Kantara Chapter 1, Big B also congratulated him on the film’s success.
“First of all, I must apologise for not having seen your films yet, you know how our schedules are,” he said, adding that his daughter Shweta Bachchan had trouble sleeping for a few days after seeing the movie. However, my daughter Shweta was unable to sleep for a few days after visiting Kantara. Your performance, particularly the last scene, left her speechless. How did you get into that zone? she kept asking.
