Box Office Report: Kantara sets new record; check out ‘Ram Setu’, ‘Thank God’ performances
With the public demanding Rishabh Shetty’s ‘Kantara’ to be sent for the Oscars as India’s official entry, Rishabh Shetty’s film is going on to set new records. In the latest, it has become the biggest fifth-weekend collection film in India, beating Baahubali 2. Clearly, Kantara’s success has overshadowed the performances of Akshay Kumar’s ‘Ram Setu’ and Sidharth Malhotra and Ajay Devgn-starrer ‘Thank God’.
FollowLooks like there is no stopping for Rishabh Shetty’s film ‘Kantara’. One of the biggest blockbusters of the year 2022, ‘Kantara’ has added one more feather to its hat – it has beaten Prabhas-starrer ‘Baahubali 2’ to become the biggest fifth-weekend collector at the box office in India. The film’s success has clearly had an impact on the performance of two newly released Bollywood films – ‘Ram Setu’ and ‘Thank God’. Among these, the audience has preferred to watch the Kannada film, rejecting the other two.
Ram Setu: Akshay Kumar's film has crossed the Rs 50 crore mark at the box office. Talking about the weekend collection of the film, Ram Setu collected Rs 6.05 crore on Friday, Rs 7.3 crore on Saturday, and Rs 8.50 crore on Sunday. There was a steady increase in the film's earnings on the weekend as it collected Rs 21.55 crores over the last three days. The total collections have reached Rs 57.25 crore.
