Kantara Chapter 1 Box Office Collection Day 6: Rishab Shetty's movie, Kantara Chapter 1, has taken the box office by storm. The movie, despite a 50 per cent dip in earnings on Monday, crossed the 250 crore mark, and is now headed towards achieving another milestone — the 300 crore mark.

Not only did the movie witness a record-breaking opening weekend, but it also scored the all-time biggest first Monday in Karnataka, surpassing Baahubali 2. It also beat Yash-fronted KGF Chapter 2 for the biggest opening weekend ever in the state.

But the real question is, with ticket sales on a simmer on Tuesday, will Kantara Chapter 1 be able to hit the 300 crore mark at the Indian box office?
