Kantara

Epitome of acting! Chilling experience!

It's a mystical thriller and slice of life......... Top class direction, BGM, cinematography, choreography & touch of spirituality. I watched yesterday night, and the movie's experience is still with me like an hang over and not able to get out of it!!!!!!!!

There are times in history of cinema, when nativity of certain culture comes to life, with such authenticity, at the same time keeping the mystical part without dilution, and enhancing audience experience to touch the divinity! Watch to experience it.

Kudos to Producer and director for giving us such cult classic!! Whooooooooo.

The opening and ending scene of Kantara is nothing like you've seen before. The way they wrote the mythological background was so good. But those are limited to the opening scene and climax. What happens in between is the overtold story of the rough hero who gets into trouble for his locality, his love interest and the conflict in the name of their place.

I can't believe they still write characters like Sreevalli and Leela. In the very first scene in which Leela is introduced, the hero straight up physically assaults her. There are other ways to write a romance, you know? No matter how progressed these movies become. They just can't get the female characters right.

The screenplay, direction cinematography, stunts, artwork and acting are pretty great. The screaming could've been dialed down a bit. The repeated screams might give you a headache. Rishab Shetty's performance in the climax is hands down one of the finest work I've ever seen in a Kannada movie. He handled something that could've gone very wrong really well.

It's theater material. Each person is different. This review is my opinion. Watch it in theaters and decide for yourself. Movies like these are made for theatres.

From to start to an end picture was outstanding and even better direction from rishab shetty bohut acha film he kundapura especially manglore me jo davi aradana challah he uska bohut ache se dikaya he climax ke last 10 minute was outstanding Rishab shetty direction even better than before acting tho badiya ti kishore ka acting bi jabardast ta debuted heroin ka acting teek taak ta overall great performance by actors especially music was outstanding bgm super cinematography outstanding total rooted regional movie with great content overall masterpiece aisa movie kannada industry me abhi tak nahi aya thank you.

No words to explain.... Outstanding Cinema. All departments hardwork shows in the screen. Aravind Kashyap cinematography is next level. BGM and Song from Ajaneesh gives goosebumps. The Director and Actor Rishabh Shetty is fire. Saptami Gowda did excellent and romantic part is very raw and goes with the story well. Kishore and Achyuth Sir perfect casting and brought justice to the role. Subtle comedy by Shiva and Gang keeps the story moving. The last climax is the must watch theatre experience and a divine moment. Proud film from Kannada industry and deeply rooted cultural but commercial entertainer. Finally thanks for Hombale Films to backing this project.

What a movie... I was literally blown away by the dedication and acting of Rishabh Shetty. You need guts to pick the topic and execute in such a nice way. Mark my words this movie will get National Award. BGM, cinematography, direction and acting all were topnotch. Final 20 minutes of climax is unbelievable... never expected Rishabh Shetty got such an acting skill. Achyutha Kumar, Kishore acted really well... Daiva, kola, bootharadhane, kambala the classic culture of the Karavali Karnataka has been shown superbly. Goosebumps expected at every scene. Dont miss the climax its the core ot the movie.
