After its remarkable theatrical journey and widespread praise, the World Television Premiere is an exciting new chapter. It allows families to experience the film together on the small screen. For those who missed it in theaters and for fans wanting to relive the experience, the Zee Kannada premiere promises to be a must-see event.

With its mix of action, emotion, and spiritual themes, Kantara: Chapter 1 is expected to lead television viewership, just like it did at the box office. As the film continues to expand its audience, its transition from a record-breaking theatrical run to a highly anticipated TV premiere further cements its place in modern Kannada cinema.
