All about Kantara Chapter 1 advance booking
Kantara Chapter 1's advance booking began on Sunday – four days before its release. The first day's pre-sales had already sold 1.7 lakh tickets, reaching a revenue of ₹5.7 crore in just over a day. The rapid ticket sales have already guaranteed that Kantara Chapter 1 would premiere with a higher opening than Kantara, which debuted in India in 2022 at a mere ₹2 crore.
Kantara: Chapter 1, which has three days left until its release, is already surpassing the advance booking totals of recent blockbusters like Pawan Kalyan's OG and Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR's War 2. Three days prior to their release, neither of these films had achieved ₹5 crore in advance booking. In pre-sales, Kantara: Chapter 1 is also surpassing Yash's KGF: Chapter 1.
