Rishab Shetty's *Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1* has outperformed Kalyani Priyadarshan's *Lokah: Chapter 1 - Chandra* at the box office during its 5th weekend, continuing its exceptional commercial run. Despite *Lokah* having a theatrical run of over 60 days and grossing around Rs 156 crore, *Kantara* has maintained stronger box office momentum, surpassing it in collections within a shorter timeframe[8]. *Kantara* has also achieved multiple historic milestones: - It has grossed over Rs 600 crore worldwide in about 31 days, with the Hindi version alone contributing Rs 214.5 crore and the Kannada version Rs 195.35 crore[1][6]. - The film remains highly popular in theaters even after its OTT release (which included Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam versions but not Hindi yet), with significant weekly jumps in box office revenue—such as a 95% increase in collections shortly after the OTT debut[6][8]. - It has become the biggest hit of 2025, surpassing other major films, including Ranbir Kapoor's *Animal* and Hrithik Roshan's *Fighter*, and ranks among the top hits of Indian cinema overall (9th biggest hit including all Indian films and 37th biggest in Hindi cinema)[4][6][10]. In contrast, *Lokah: Chapter 1 - Chandra*'s slower but steady box office performance was eclipsed by the momentum of *Kantara*. *Kantara*'s strong box office presence in multiple languages, combined with robust footfalls exceeding 3 crore admissions and high revenue despite OTT releases, underscores its dominance in the current market[7]. Thus, *Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1* not only beats *Lokah* in box office collection for the 5th weekend but also sets a benchmark for Indian cinema in terms of commercial success, cross-language appeal, and post-OTT theatrical resilience[8].
