Kantara Chapter 1 Day 1 Morning Occupancy: Hindi Version Opens Well, Word of Mouth Could Boost Collections. 

Rishab Shetty Kantara Chapter 1 has made a solid start at the Pan India level, but the Hindi version has opened moderately. Considering the massive pre-release hype, morning shows recorded around 28-30 percent occupancy, which is good but not spectacular. The film is aiming for a first-day net of around 20 crore in Hindi alone.

Despite a modest start, the word of mouth has been excellent, and it is expected to strengthen attendance for afternoon and evening shows. Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday, also adds an advantage, with more audiences likely to head to theaters as the day progresses.

The film’s nostalgia factor from the original Kantara, along with positive buzz on social media, is helping maintain strong audience interest. While the Kannada version is leading the overall collections, the Hindi version is slowly building momentum and could see a steady growth throughout the day.

If the positive word of mouth continues, Kantara Chapter 1 Hindi could surpass expectations and establish itself as a strong performer in the Hindi belt. The period mythological action drama continues to be one of the most anticipated releases, and the evening shows will likely reflect the growing excitement among audiences.
