Kantara Chapter 1 to Stream Soon on Prime Video

Good news for fans of Kantara! The highly awaited prequel, Kantara Chapter 1, is arriving on Amazon Prime Video on October 31, 2025. It’s been just 29 days since the movie hit theaters on October 2, coinciding with Vijayadashami and Gandhi Jayanti. And it’s already the biggest Indian blockbuster of the year, earning more than Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava.

Rishab Shetty wrote, directed, and stars in the film. It explores the ancient stories behind the sacred deities Panjuluri Daiva, Guliga, and Chavundi. Set in the lush forests of coastal Karnataka, the movie follows the brave warrior Berme (played by Shetty) as he leads his people into a fierce battle filled with emotion, divine power, and intense action.

The strong cast includes Jayaram as a wise village elder, Rukmini Vasanth in a touching role, and Gulshan Devaiah as a powerful villain. Produced by Hombale Films—the team behind the 2022 hit Kantara—this chapter brings stunning visuals and a deep connection to local traditions.

Kantara Chapter 1 has broken box office records, collecting ₹591.63 crore in India and over ₹813 crore worldwide in just 26 days, according to Sacnilk. Its success comes from authentic storytelling, Shetty’s powerful performance, and a haunting soundtrack rooted in the Bhoota Kola ritual. Critics call it a “cinematic prayer” that speaks to audiences across languages, just like the original film, which won National Awards for Best Feature Film and Best Actor.

Prime Video shared the exciting update on Instagram: “Get ready to witness the LEGENDary adventure of BERME #KantaraALegendChapter1OnPrime, October 31.” A teaser showing Berme’s army preparing for war has already gained millions of views.

Fans are thrilled, but some are surprised by the quick OTT release. One wrote, “I’ll definitely watch it again!” Others said, “Released in theaters on October 2 and on OTT by October 31? That’s too soon.” Many want the digital version delayed to boost theater collections. There’s also a demand for a Hindi version, but for now, only Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam audio tracks are available.
