Although definitely over the top, “Kantara” emerges as a film well-written, directed, acted and visually impressive, in a truly entertaining package that even justifies its 148 minutes.

Rated: 7.5

Gandhi's point is clear and precise, there is a thin line that separates glorification from disfavour. It is on us, the audience, to decide which side we want to favour.

KANTARA is a film that proves how much appeal and fascination a very regional subject matter can have when the filmmakers tell their story with so much passion and dedication.

Rated: 8/10

Kantara isn’t a magic-realist fable set in rural India at all, but basically a toxic KGF clone with a plot denser than the forest in which its (toxic) hero lives.

B Ajaneesh Loknath’s music is soothing. With plenty to savour for both mass and class audience, Kantara undoubtedly makes for a wonderful theatrical experience.

Rated: 4/5

A heady blend of history, myth, folklore, high drama and stylishly choreographed action neatly wrapped in a form firmly rooted in the cultural milieu it has sprung from.

It's one of the best movies ever made! It shows cultural and traditional practices from a small region of Karnataka state in a modern world and links it to spirituality, which is unseen of.
