Kantara Chapter 1 to Stream Soon on OTT – Rishabh Shetty’s highly anticipated film “Kantara Chapter 1” has created a buzz in theaters. In addition to acting, Rishabh also directed the film himself, and the results of his hard work are clearly visible. Audiences are connecting with the film’s story, music, and deep folklore message.
Excellent Box Office Earnings
According to reports, “Kantara Chapter 1” has so far grossed over ₹650 crore globally. At the Indian box office, the film is very close to crossing the ₹500 crore mark, making it one of the biggest hits of 2025.
Now, audiences are eager to know when the film will be released on OTT.
According to a report by Pinkvilla, Amazon Prime Video has acquired the digital rights to the film for ₹125 crore. The film is reportedly expected to stream on Prime Video on October 30, 2025, in Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.
While no official announcement has been made by the film’s makers yet, it is expected that its OTT premiere will be confirmed around Diwali.
Folk Faith Reconnects with the Story
It’s worth noting that Rishabh Shetty’s 2022 release “Kantara” won a special place in audiences’ hearts. The film’s portrayal of the Panjurli deity and the Bhoot Kola tradition connected people to their roots and culture.
“Kantara Chapter 1” is essentially a prequel to the same story, revealing how that faith originated. The film’s powerful performances by Rishabh Shetty, Jayaram, Rukmini Vasanth, and Gulshan Devaiah make it even more impressive.
Why is this film special?
‘Kantara Chapter 1’ is not just a film, but a cinematic celebration of India’s folklore and beliefs. It shows how vibrant our soil and our traditions remain even amidst modernity.
Rishabh Shetty has once again proven that language is no barrier when a story is told from the heart.
