While the makers have not yet made an official announcement, the news has left fans thrilled about this prestigious honour.

Box Office Roars Past ₹100 Crore

The prequel to the 2022 National Award-winning Kantara opened to massive collections. According to early estimates by Sacnilk, the film earned ₹45 crore on Day 2, taking its domestic total to ₹106.85 crore. Despite facing competition from Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor’s Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, Kantara: Chapter 1 has clearly emerged as the audience’s top pick.

The ABP Live review of the film reads: Kantara Chapter 1 is not a flawless masterpiece, but it is a film that deserves to be watched on the big screen. With its breathtaking visuals, thrilling action, and some unforgettable moments, it surpasses the first film in scale and cinematic experience. There’s no reason to declare that “Bollywood should be ashamed”—instead, it’s a reminder that good cinema can come from anywhere, and it should simply be celebrated.
