Kantara Kannada (Theatres) Director: Rishab Shetty Cast: Rishab Shetty, Kishore, Achyuth Kumar, Sapthami Gowda Rating: 3.5/5 Something is alluring about ...

[Dailymotion ](https://www.dailymotion.com/DeccanHerald) [Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/deccanherald/) [Twitter ](https://twitter.com/DeccanHerald) There is a constant shift in mood in the film and Ajaneesh’s background score, at every turn of the plot, is dipped in authenticity. Amidst this, there is also a landlord (Achyuth Kumar) who seems to support the locals when government intervention spells trouble for the village. In ‘Kantara’, director Rishab Shetty introduces this world to us in a terrific opening stretch that shows how the King in a village amidst a forest in Kundapura donates various areas of his land to the villagers for a ‘special’ stone.

Kantara movie has officially released in cinema theaters on September 30, 2022. The screentime of this film is around 2 hours 30 minutes.

The rootedness of this film is what makes this film appealing and engaging. The editing work have been done by KM Prakash and Pratheek Shetty. This film also stars Achyuth Kumar, Pramod Shetty and many others. The screentime of this film is around 2 hours 30 minutes. So, the ego tussle goes on between Shiva and forest officer, who will win at the end is the twist you need to watch it. Seeing the menace of the forest officer, Shiva is furious and wants to face off with the officer at any cost.

Set in the fictional village of Dakshina Kannada, Kantara is a visual grandeur that brings alive the traditional culture of Kambla and Bhootha Kola.

The soul of the story is on human and nature conflict in which Shiva is the rebellion and works against nature. In the story, there is a ripple when a battle of ego swirls along the tradition and culture of the land. Set in the fictional village of Dakshina Kannada, Kantara is a visual grandeur that brings alive the traditional culture of Kambla and Bhootha Kola.

An intensely engaging story based on folklore from coastal Karnataka, Rishab Shetty's film is an absolute winner.

But if you at least manage to create an iota of interest in the subject among this audience, it’s a job well done. Rishab can take credit for writing the world of Kantara, but showing it to us as a visual spectacle is Aravind and his lens. Taking a rooted tale and presenting it to a larger audience is a gamble; not everyone may take a shine to it. Rishab’s film had me glued to my seat from start to finish even though I could not comprehend the significance of Bhoothakola or Daivaradhane, as practised in the region. And I say this as someone who has absolutely no understanding of the culture and traditions of Kundapura. The conflicts that arise between the villagers, the forest department, and the landlord form the crux of this tale.

Kantara is the latest Kannada film which has officially released in cinema theaters across India and worldwide on September 30, 2022.

The word of mouth further boost the collections on the second and third day. This movie has reportedly released in 300 screens plus in India. The early paid-previews of Kantara movie is good and that will boost the collections on day 1 in India.

While the film relies heavily on the mystique of centuries-old folklore and traditions, Rishab Shetty presents it in the garb of a masala film that is not ...

Rishab Shetty, the actor, is particularly effective in the film and that’s because he is fully aware of the pitch and tone of his performance. The template of using not one but two nemeses is nothing new but it’s the staging that does the trick. Suttur is the local landlord and a congenial well-wisher of the village (and of Shiva, in particular), but it doesn’t take much to guess that there’s more to him than meets the eye (we are even told that he is heir to the land that the king “gave away” many moons ago). So, when Murali’s stubbornness encounters Shiva’s bravado, it’s a clash of epic proportions and we feel we are nudged towards an ultra-masculine, egotistic faceoff that is similar to the one in the 2020 Malayalam film Ayyapanum Koshiyum. Rishab also plays the hero Shiva, a valiant but hot-headed Kambala champion who is also the living embodiment of the abandon of his village. And simultaneously, the same mystical energy allows for the hero of the film to pave a rite of passage for himself and transcend into a living myth in front of his own people.

“Kantara” marks the Kirik Party director Rishab Shetty's fourth directorial venture after Ricky, Kirik Party, and Ramanna Rai.

Kantara is opened with positive reviews from the critics, they heaped praise on its technical aspects, unique content, background score, and Rishab’s stunning performance, especially in the final 15 minutes. As per the early estimation, it will open with Rs 1.5 Cr nett at the box office. According to Rishab, certain reasons related to the story made them do Kantara only for the Kannada audience although he agreed that there is huge content to promote it as a pan-India film.
