After KGF, Kannada’s cinematic style has changed in terms of extraordinary films and deep content-based films and Kantara falls into the second category, The film revives the traditional culture of Kambla and Bhootha Kola and the soul of the story is about the conflict between man and nature, which in itself is an interesting storyline and director Rishab Shetty was played so well.

The first half featured gripping scenes and situational comedies and the last half delves into the actual history of culture and traditions mixed with a mystery that you will definitely stay glued to your seat except for a few repetitive scenes in the second half, just the right amount of drama. and mystery engages you to the end and the last 30 minutes of the film are simply speechless that part you need to experience it on screen.

Rishab Shetty as the Shiva rebellion is simply brilliant, his makeover and body language added realism to the character, Rishab Shetty’s performance is chilling in the last 20 minutes as the film brought a new side to Rishab Shetty, Kishore , as a powerful forest officer nailed his role and the rest of the cast performed well in their respective roles.

Rishab Shetty shows his courage in acting and has managed to present a deeply rooted story, engaging us with his brilliant writing and shooting.

Technically Kantara is top notch DOP Aravind Kashyap did a brilliant job, he just takes us into the world of Kantara by creating the right mood, lighting and framing, B Ajaneesh Loknath’s music is good, the songs are not been registered but we can see its brilliance in BGM and the rest of the technical departments have done well.
