After witnessing a sharp Monday correction, Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: Chapter 1 (Hindi) bounced back strongly on Day 6 (Tuesday), thanks to the Cinema Day offer that slashed ticket prices to ₹99/₹149 across major multiplex chains. The reduced pricing fueled a surge in audience turnout, pushing advance sales well past the lakh mark in national circuits.
Till 11:20 PM, the film clocked 97,809 admits from 2,410 shows at PVR-INOX properties alone translating to an impressive 19.56% overall occupancy. When combined with Cinepolis and other circuits, the nationwide advance tally has reached an estimated 1.22 lakh tickets, a stellar leap from Monday’s modest 22K figure.
