Kantara: Chapter 1 Creates History as Brahmakalasha Crosses 1 Million Reels

The legacy of Kantara: Chapter 1 refuses to slow down. Months after rewriting box office history, Rishab Shetty's blockbuster has now scripted another milestone—this time in the digital world.

The film's spiritually charged first single, Brahmakalasha (also referred to as Bramalaksha ), composed by B. Ajaneesh Loknath , has officially become the first Kannada film song to cross 1 million reels across social media platforms. The record makes it one of the biggest viral successes ever for a Kannada movie song.

What makes the feat even more impressive is that the song continues to dominate social media nearly a year after its release. From devotional edits and cinematic tributes to dance videos and travel montages, creators across Instagram and other short video platforms have embraced the powerful track, turning it into a cultural phenomenon.

Released as the film's first single, Brahmakalasha immediately grabbed attention for its divine atmosphere, powerful chants, folk inspired orchestration, and breathtaking visuals featuring Rishab Shetty. Sung by Abby V , the track introduced audiences to the mystical world of Kantara: Chapter 1 and perfectly captured the film's blend of folklore, spirituality, and mythology.

The achievement is yet another feather in the cap for Hombale Films , which has consistently delivered pan Indian blockbusters. While Kantara: Chapter 1 emerged as one of the highest grossing Indian films of 2025 , its music has now created history of its own, proving that the film's impact extends far beyond the box office.

Crossing one million reels is an exceptionally rare milestone for any Indian film song, and even more significant for a Kannada track. Industry observers believe this benchmark could stand unbeaten for a long time, highlighting the extraordinary popularity and repeat value of Brahmakalasha .

With box office glory, critical acclaim, and now an unprecedented digital record, Kantara: Chapter 1 continues to strengthen its place as one of the biggest cinematic and musical phenomena in recent Indian cinema.
