However, Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1, the Kannada prequel that has stormed the box office with an impressive pan-India opening of over Rs 60 crore net. It minted Rs 19.5 crores in Hindi language while 40.5 crores in other langauges.
Before release, the films were in news over unfair division of screens. In an exclusive chat with mid-day, Trade analyst Taran Adarsh revealed that there isn’t a neat 50-50 division across Mumbai screens. “In most multiplexes here, Kantara is getting more screens. The buzz is based on the euphoria of the last part [Kantara, 2022]. Sunny Sanskari… is a happy family film with a wedding backdrop and will pull crowds in the North sector.”
