Kantara: Chapter 1 ends with an unanswered question, signaling the continuation of the story, as an elderly character hints at events for the next chapter. Fans can expect the saga of the Daivas and Kantara tribe to unfold further in a potential Part 3
Still from Kantara Chapter 1
Rishab Shetty's Kantara: Chapter 1 was released in theatres today. It is a prequel to the 2022 film Kantara. The first film was a massive hit, introducing new audiences to Kannada cinema. The second part of the story takes the narrative thousands of years back. The climax of the film also hints at a potential third part for Kantara.
Kantara Chapter 1 climax
The film, which also stars Rukmini Vasanth and Gulshan Deviah, is set in the 4th–5th century. It begins where Kantara (2022) left off and explores the origins of the Daiva culture introduced in the first movie. After good triumphs over evil, the narrative returns to the present. A child listening to the story asks about one of the caves featured in the tale, and the film ends with an elderly person saying, “That is for the next chapter.” This clearly signals the makers’ intention to continue the story with a third installment.
Kantara Chapter 1 OTT release
While the film is expected to enjoy a long theatrical run, it will be available for streaming afterward. The streaming rights have been sold to Amazon Prime Video, which also hosts Kantara (2022). Reportedly, the deal was closed for a whopping Rs 125 crore, making Kantara: Chapter 1 one of the highest-paid Kannada films for post-theatrical streaming, second only to KGF 2. The film is expected to release on Prime Video in multiple languages—Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi- ensuring a pan-India OTT experience.
The mythological epic is expected to premiere on Prime Video on October 30, exactly four weeks after its theatrical release. However, the Hindi dubbed version may arrive only after eight weeks, following standard industry norms. The platform is yet to make an official announcement.
