After KGF, Kantara has written a new chapter in the Kannada industry. Originally made in the Kannada language, the film has collected more than 400 crores worldwide.
Unlike today's movies which die within two weeks of release, Kantara continued its stupendous run in theatres for almost two months. All the pundits and critics of the film world are surprised to see the earnings of this film made at just 18 crores.
The Rishabh Shetty starrer is ruling the box office as well as on IMDb. Kantara continues to top IMDb's list. By achieving a rating of 9.4, it has made a record of becoming the best Indian film. Earlier this record was in the name of KGF-2.
Hindu beliefs are shown in Kantara. The film is basically based on the tradition of Bhoot Kola. Bhoot Kola is a ritual observed in the rural areas of Karnataka. In this, the gods are worshiped by the people of the village. During the puja, a person from the village wears the costume of a god and starts dancing. The person who dances is called a divine dancer.
It is believed that while dancing, deities come inside the person. During this, whatever the divine dancer says, it is considered God's order for the villagers, the story of the Kantara movie is also inspired by this practice.
The Rishabh Shetty starrer film was released in theatres on 30 September. In the initial days of release, the film's earnings were very slow, but gradually due to tremendous word of mouth, the film started gaining momentum. Originally made in the Kannada language, the makers released it in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages on October 14, keeping in mind the stupendous collection of the film.
