TL;DR:With Kantara Chapter 1 storming the box office past ₹400 crore, fans are now asking the big question — can it surpass Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava to become India’s highest grosser of 2025? 💰 The race is neck and neck!

What Happened?

Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 continues its unstoppable run, earning rave reviews for its rooted storytelling and spiritual intensity. 🌾
The film has crossed ₹400 crore worldwide and is expected to break into the top 3 all-time Kannada grossers within days.
Meanwhile, Chhaava, the Maratha epic starring Vicky Kaushal, has been dominating in Hindi markets — but Kantara is catching up fast with strong hold in South and overseas territories. 🌍

Flashback / Context

Kantara (2022) became a cultural phenomenon, and expectations for Chapter 1 were sky-high. Rishab Shetty doubled down on myth, emotion, and mysticism — delivering a cinematic powerhouse. ⚡
Chhaava, on the other hand, drew massive crowds for its grandeur and nationalism theme, making it the Hindi belt’s biggest success since Gadar 2.
Trade analysts now call it a pan-India face-off between regional authenticity (Kantara) and historical spectacle (Chhaava).

Who Gains & Who Loses?

Gains: Kannada cinema — proving its global might once again.
Gains: Audiences — two quality blockbusters from different cultures in one year.
Losses: Possibly Chhaava, if Kantara continues its strong second-week momentum.

People’s Angle

Fans across India are split — some rooting for Rishab Shetty’s rooted mythology, others for Vicky Kaushal’s patriotic saga. 💥 Either way, 2025 is turning into a dream year for Indian cinema lovers. 🎥

MediaFx Take

This clash isn’t about competition — it’s about evolution. Kantara Chapter 1 shows how regional cinema can match Bollywood in scale, emotion, and spirit. 🌟 When storytelling wins, India wins.
