Kantara

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.

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.

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.

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.

Happened to Watch Kantara (Forest), in a jampacked houseful show. Weekend was a red zone for this movie beating PS1, and Vikram Vedha in Bangalore. I had to travel 16 KM to HSR Thirumala. But all efforts were worth !

Kantara is absolutely breath taking, I some how liked more than KGF. Its a next venture of Homable films after KGF chapter 2

Kantara is an epitome of how Rishab Shetty as an Actor, DIrector and Writer finds his place is the same film. I always admired Rishab shetty for his excellent story creation and direction, From Kirik Party, Kasargodu Shaale and as an Actor in many.

Starting with the story, Kantara is a fight between good and evil, sometimes the god, sometimes the people of the forest. Eventually at the end, the god wins always, it is crafted with a touch of Boota Kola a worship from Tulu nadu - Malanadu and Northern Kerala. It resembles the Theyyam art as well. Just like the demographic picturization , kantara shot in Dakshin Karnataka forest area, the crew made an intense research on Art, Music and folklore in Kundapura to all the way Kasargod. Hence the location, Cinematography, Art all were treat for the eye.

Acting cannot be ruled out, Rishab as a main lead was excellent, Kishore did his career best role. Achyuth Kumar, Pramod Shetty, Swaraj Shetty - all were perfect cast.

Another best thing about this movie is the music , its a mixture of folklore - jaanapada a form of folk song , ajaneesh loknath is the music director. Some of the songs will give us the goosebumps.

In all words, Kantara is a story of Uprising of a Forest against its exploiters. The movie, especially the climax is an Adrenaline Rush !

Well made! 9/10.
