Meanwhile, despite competing with Ayushmann Khurrana and Rakul Preet Singh’s Doctor G and Parineeti Chopra and Harrdy Sandhu’s Code Name: Tiranga, the Hindi version of Kantara is doing exceptionally well at the box office.

A few days earlier, Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his Instagram handle and shared the box office collection of the Hindi version of the film Kantara. He wrote, “Kantara Hindi version refuses to slow down…look at the trending on days 4, 5, 6… day 6 is Higher than days 1, 4, and 5… If this is not fantastic, what is?… Fri 1.27 cr, Sat 2.75 cr, Sun 3.50 cr, Mon 1.75 cr, Tue 1.88 cr, Wed 1.95 cr. Total: ₹ 13.10 cr. Nett BOC.”

Kantara, starring and directed by Rishab Shetty, is set in coastal Karnataka and deals with the contemporary issues of land politics and man vs nature through the use of local folklore and beliefs in Daivas, regional demigods. Since its release on September 30, the film has grossed over 170 crores at the worldwide box office, more than any other Kannada film except the two KGF titles. The success prompted the producers to release dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam, all of which are currently running in India.
