Initially, Kantara had a rather unimpressive release in Karnataka in September 2022, however, following strong word of mouth, the film’s dubbed version was released across the country and people embraced the film.
Kantara earned Rs 400 crore from its worldwide ticket sales. The movie was at approximately Rs 15 crore.
