Already ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ has collected Rs. 821.5 crore collections and created a sensation. Houseful shows are still going on in many places. The fans were surprised to announce the OTT release at the time of such an aggressive run. But the reason behind this is not the new decision of the producers.. The reason is the OTT agreement made three years ago. As per the deal, the film has to be streamed on Prime Video within 4 weeks of its release. At that time, no one expected such a massive success.
As usual, the Hindi version will be released after 8 weeks. According to the producers, it is believed that the OTT release will not have much effect on the collections at the theatres. Moreover, they expect good viewership on both the platforms due to the cult following of the Kantara series. All in all, ‘Kanthara Chapter 1’ has become the talk of the town with its story, visuals, collections and now with its whirlwind OTT entry.
