KGF Chapter 2 to Kantara: Kannada films storm cine world

Lately, KFI has forayed into the global market with several other flicks outnumbering several Bollywood movies as well as other flicks from various regional film industries. The journey began with KGF Chapter 1 in 2018 and its roar is still continuing throwing a challenge to several other filmmakers.

The bumper show of Kantara at the box office worldwide brings to frame the dazzling performance of Kannada films. First, it was KGF Chapter 1 and the trend picked up the pace with several other movies from the Sandalwood including Yash’s KGF Chapter 2, Puneeth Rajkumar’s James, Kiccha Sudeep’s Vikrant Rona, Rakshit Shetty’s 777 Charlie and now its Rishabh Shetty’s Kantara. 

2022 has been a roller coaster ride for the Indian cine industry. While several Bollywood movies starring A-listed actors have failed to woo the audience, the south has begun its dominance across the country. To be more precise, the Kannada Film Industry (KFI) is roaring like never before drawing the attention of the global audience.
