Kantara (Hindi) has held up well on Monday as it has had collections falling in the 1.25-1.50 crore nett range and it marks around 40-50% growth for the film from the Friday, stated the report. Kantara Hindi version has caught up with Doctor G and is expected to even go ahead from here on. As for Doctor G, Kantara is proving to be its biggest competitor and both films have about a week before the Diwali releases take over the box office. Before that, Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam will also be releasing but the film will have a niche audience, whereas the much-hyped Ram Setu and Thank God boast of star power with Akshay Kumar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nushrratt Bharuccha, and Sidharth Malhotra, Rakul Preet Singh and Ajay Devgn leading the cast of the films respectively. The Diwali releases hit theatres on October 25, 2022.
