Kantara

Rarely does a movie like this come out which makes you feel you have been transported into another world. As a tuluva this made me so proud. More than anything else I want to thank Rishab Shetty for bringing out and showing our motherland and its rich culture to the entire world.

Coming to the movie part, it was nothing less than perfect. The acting, the story telling, the cinematography etc was class apart <3 Rishab shettre ereg dever edde malpad. Keep growing and keep delivering such master pieces throughout your life. This movie should receive National award and Rishab Anna should also receive National award for his brilliant acting.

This is a masala movie with some artistic touch. I feel it is hyped to the moon and you may feel underwhelmed after watching it. Totally predictable but the last 15 minutes are worth waiting. Atleast 20 minutes of the film could have been edited out. But still I think the movie has heart and shows us that a cinematicaly beautiful film is possible to make in budget. I saw some reviews and film essays after watching the movie and just can't understand how people can say it is beyond understanding. I may sound little harsh but it is because I felt cheated by all those YouTube movies reviewers who hyped this film like crazy.

Not meant for review, no words to express felling after the watch. Once in life time movie😍Daivaradhane is belief and practice till day by tulunadu people and they protect our family and land from any harm. We felt deeply connected and can only done by Rishabh Shetty being deeply rooted to place can pull this off. Movie with no flaws watched it so many times brilliant acting by cast , mind-blowing music and camera work .Last few minutes felt vibration throughout body seeing Rishabh acting felt divine blessings behind it ,tears rolled down eyes at end 🙏This needs to reach highest audience across India.

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.

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.
