Kantara: Chapter 1 entered the Rs 100 crore club at the Hindi box office today, becoming the 11th South Indian dubbed film ever to do so. The movie debuted on an underwhelming note but picked up well over the weekend and maintained a strong run throughout the week. It took 8 days to hit the three-digit figure and is now aiming for a good jump in the second weekend.
The first South Indian dubbed movie that hit the Rs 100 crore net mark in Hindi was none other than SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Beginning. Released in 2015, the Prabhas and Rana Daggubati starrer raked in around Rs 119.25 crore in its entire run, that too, while facing a tough competition from Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan from the second weekend.
The Rs 100 crore list further includes Baahubali 2, 2.0, Saaho, Pushpa, RRR, KGF Chapter 2, Salaar, Kalki 2898 AD, Pushpa 2, and Kantara: Chapter 1, being the latest entrant. Interestingly, 5 out of all the 11 movies belong to Prabhas, proving the dominance of the actor in the Hindi belt.
Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 holds the title of the highest-grossing film in the Hindi belt, with a net business of Rs 739.50 crore, which shows how the business of South Indian dubbed movies rose in North India over the last decade.
The next bet is on Prabhas’ The Raja Saab, slated to release during Sankranthi 2026 weekend. If all goes well, it will continue the golden streak of Prabhas in the elite list.
