Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

Rishab Shetty's film *Kantara: Chapter 1* has maintained a steady box office run and, after 29 days, finally crossed the **₹600 crore** mark globally. This milestone establishes it as one of the biggest hits of Indian cinema in 2025. The film collected around ₹78.5 crore in its third week alone, pushing the total collection beyond ₹600 crore worldwide, including over ₹500 crore from India domestically. It is now ranked as the 8th highest-grossing Indian film, surpassing Shraddha Kapoor's *Stree 2*, and continues to perform strongly despite new Diwali releases. The Hindi dubbed version has particularly contributed significantly to this success, alongside the original Kannada version[1][4][6][8]. Additional highlights include: - *Kantara* opened with approximately ₹60 crore net on Day 1, with the Hindi version contributing nearly ₹20 crore on the same day[3][9]. - The film witnessed a jump in collections in its second weekend, earning about ₹40 crore nett on consecutive days, marking a 75% increase compared to previous weekdays[2]. - The movie's theatrical run was relatively short, with an OTT release announced for October 31, just 29 days post-theatrical release, which is unusually early given its box office strength but did not significantly halt its momentum[4]. - *Kantara* surpassed several big-ticket films at the box office, including Ranbir Kapoor's *Animal*, and is among the top hits of the year 2025 across Indian cinema[6][8][10]. Overall, *Kantara: Chapter 1* achieved monumental commercial success through steady domestic and global box office collections, strong regional and Hindi version performances, and sustained audience interest several weeks after release[1][2][4][6][8][9].
