Rishab Shetty's *Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1* has achieved massive box office success in 2025, becoming the second highest-grossing Indian film of the year after Vicky Kaushal's *Chhaava*. It grossed approximately Rs 336.5 crore by its eighth day and surpassed several major hits like *Saiyaara* and *Mahavatar Narasimha* in total collections. However, it has not yet surpassed *Chhaava*'s record of Rs 601.54 crore, thus failing to beat it as the biggest second weekend of 2025[6]. The film notably broke multiple box office records, including achieving the third-biggest opening day of 2025 with Rs 61.85 crore, crossing Rs 100 crore in just two days, and becoming the highest-grossing Kannada film of the year. It also beat significant films like Rajinikanth's *Coolie* and Aamir Khan's *Ghajini* at the Hindi box office. Despite some slowdown on the second weekend, *Kantara* maintained strong earnings and grew its ranks among the top grossers of the year[4][6][8][12]. In summary, while *Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1* is a blockbuster and ranks second in 2025, it did not surpass *Chhaava* to become the biggest second weekend grosser of the year[6].
