Kantara 2 fails to beat Chhaava as the biggest 2nd Wednesday of 2025

Rishab Shetty’s ‘Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1’ fails to beat Vicky Kaushal’s ‘Chhaava’ record for third day in a row

Rishab Shetty’s Kantara 2 continues its impressive box office run, becoming the 12th biggest Indian film. While it dominated early 2025 collections, Chhaava has emerged as a strong competitor, surpassing Kantara 2’s second weekend and weekday earnings. Kantara 2’s total collection is nearing ₹500 crore, with a third installment planned after Rishab Shetty completes other projects.

Ever since Rishab Shetty’s Kantara : A Legend Chapter 1 hit the theaters on 2nd October, box office records have kept on tumbling. Kantara 2 has already become the 12th biggest of Indian cinema and still has a lot of steam left at the box office. Over its first week- it was also able to clock the highest collection for Saturday, Sunday and Monday collections of 2025. But when it comes to Week 2 records, the film has found a formidable challenger in Vicky Kaushal and Laxman Utekar’s Chhaava.

Kantara 2 failed to beat the 2nd weekend collection of Chhaava which was the highest in 2025, it also couldn’t go past its Monday and Tuesday collection which were also the highest for 2025. And even on Wednesday it couldn’t breach the record set by Chhaava for the highest 2nd Wednesday collection of 2025 with a box office of Rs 23 crore. Kantara 2 which over the second week has slowed down comparatively was able to earn only Rs 10.55 crore.

But Kantara 2 did manage to go past the other 2nd Wednesday collections like Mohit Suri, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s Saiyaara which collected Rs 7.5 crore and Ashwin Kumar’s Mahavatar Narsimha which earned Rs 6 crore. Both films made it to the highest grossing films of 2025.
The total collection of Kantara 2 now stands at Rs 476 crore and should cross Rs 500 crore mark over the weekend. The film features names like Gulshan Devaiah, Jayaram and Rakimini Vasanth in pivotal roles, the makers have announced the third part with the climax of the second part but Rishab will not be coming back to the franchise till he completes Jai Hanuman and Chhatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj’s biopic.
