Led and directed by Rishab Shetty, Kantara Chapter 1 has shattered box office records since its release, emerging as the biggest Indian blockbuster of 2025. This epic mythological action drama, produced by Hombale Films, also features Gulshan Devaiah, Rukmini Vasanth, Jayaram, Pramod Shetty, Naveen D. Padil, Rakesh Poojari, and Prakash Thuminad in prominent roles.

The film's Hindi dubbed version is also going strong at the box office as it has become just the third Hindi film of the year to earn over Rs 200 crore in India after Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda-starrer Mohit Suri's love story Saiyaara and Vicky Kaushal-starrer Laxman Utekar's historical actioner Chhaava, that had collected Rs 330 crore and Rs 585 crore net in India, respectively.
