Kantara box office: Rishab Shetty film outdoes Ponniyin Selvan I, GodFather in national earnings on day 12
Hindustan TimesRishabh Shetty directed Kannada action drama Kantara is having a phenomenal run at the box office. In Karnataka, the film has grossed ₹58 crore since its release and is being dubbed and released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu following the tremendous response from audiences so far. In comparison, Mani Ratnam's Tamil magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan: I earned around ₹4 crore in all languages while GodFather, the Telugu action thriller, netted just around ₹2 crore. With the film ready for its dubbed release in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu, it’s set for a huge box office onslaught,” Trinath said. What’s interesting to note is that Kantara released alongside Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan 1 and still managed to do extremely well at the ticket window.
