Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse 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 Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Santanu Das Hindustan Times 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. Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Jimmy Cage Jimmy Cage Movie Reviews (YouTube) 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 Nov 30, 2022 Full Review Rohan Naahar The Indian Express 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. Nov 28, 2022 Full Review Times of India Staff The Times of India 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 Oct 19, 2022 Full Review Saibal Chatterjee NDTV 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.

Harish N Kantara" (2022) is a truly wonderful and unique cinematic experience that left a profound impact on audiences. The film is a masterful blend of cultural folklore, intense action, and social commentary, all anchored by the sheer brilliance of Rishab Shetty's storytelling and performance. Rishab Shetty is an absolute force of nature in the film. His performance is nothing short of breathtaking, as he embodies his character's raw power, vulnerability, and deep connection to his land and traditions. It's a performance that is both physically demanding and emotionally resonant, a career-defining turn that is the heart and soul of the movie. The story itself is a work of art. It's a gripping narrative that delves into the spiritual and cultural beliefs of a tribal community, exploring themes of human connection with nature, land, and justice. The film's second half is particularly stunning, building a powerful sense of mythology and a visceral climax that is both breathtaking and emotionally charged. The cinematography is beautiful, capturing the rugged beauty of the forest and the vibrant culture of the community. The sound design and music are equally impressive, creating an immersive and authentic atmosphere that transports you into the world of the film. Overall, "Kantara" is a wonderful and near-perfect film. Its powerful storytelling, stunning visuals, and Rishab Shetty's phenomenal performance make it a must-watch cinematic triumph.
