Kantara movie review: Rishab Shetty film blends action and ... (Hindustan Times)

Kantara movie review: Rishab Shetty brings an original tale rooted in Indian culture and mythology that surely ranks among the best efforts by an Indian ...

To complicate matters, the villagers believe that the land was given to them as a boon from their Daiva--the demigod protector of the forest, and are hence in no mood to listen to this outsider. Like Sohum Shah’s Tumbbad some four years ago, Kantara is proof that the earthy, rooted folk tales from India have the power to be turned into compelling cinema. The colours are vivid, the sounds melodic, and the portrayal powerful. All the scenes involving the Daiva are compelling, and some even hair-raising. The choice to use western instruments in some scenes depicting Indian festivities was a bold one and it pays off quite well. Kantara shows just what is possible when a good storyteller decides to tell an original tale rooted in the land and its culture, while bringing with himself the expertise and technical finesse of good filmmaking. Rishab Shetty as Shiva delivers a powerful performance as this unstoppable force, who will go to any lengths to protect his village and his people. At the heart of it, Kantara is the age-old story of man vs nature, of villagers vs zamindars, and the thirst for land and money. The story is set around a village in south Karnataka where a king had given that land to the villagers 150 years ago. A lot has been said about how Indian cinema is losing touch with its roots and not finding original stories from the heartland. The beautiful amalgamation of action, thrill, faith, and mythology in this powerful film ranks among the best efforts by any Indian filmmaker in recent times. By the time of the writing of this review, Kantara has earned endorsements from people far more accomplished in the world of cinema, with many more National Awards than this writer can ever hope to win.

'कांतारा' रिव्यू: एक देवता के मिथक की कहानी और ऋषभ शेट्टी की अद्भुत ... (आज तक)

कन्नड़ में बनी KGF मेकर्स की अगली फिल्म 'कांतारा' 30 सितंबर को साउथ में रिलीज हुई.

शिवा के कैरेक्टर में उनकी रॉ एनर्जी पूरी फिल्म में बराबर फैली हुई है और स्क्रीन पर उनका पूरा ऑरा बहुत कमाल का है. जो डायलॉग एक पर्टिकुलर भाषा और संस्कृति से जुड़े हों उन्हें हिंदी में बदलने में थोड़ा बहुत असर तो खोता ही है. 'कांतारा' दक्षिण कन्नड़ और तुलूनाडू इलाके की लोक कथाओं और लोक संस्कृति से बहुत गहरी जुड़ी हुई है. जंगल का जो मिथक कहानी की जड़ में है, उस कहानी के राजा का मौजूद वंशज देवेन्द्र सुत्तर (अच्युत कुमार) भी पूरे खेल में एक महत्वपूर्ण किरदार है. फिल्म में जंगल के बीच बस एक छोटे से गांव की कहानी है. इन सवालों का जवाब 'कांतारा' जिस तरह स्क्रीन पर देती है, उसे पूरा देखने के बाद आपको थिएटर की सीट से उठने में कुछ मिनट का समय लगेगा. कहा जाता है कि शांति की तलाश में भटकते एक राजा को, जंगल में पत्थर के रूप में ये देवता मिला और उसने एक शर्त रखी. कहानी में एक फॉरेस्ट ऑफिसर है मुरली (किशोर), जो सरकार की तरफ से जंगल का रखवाला है और उसके हिसाब से जंगल में गांववालों का दखल प्रकृति को नुक्सान पहुंचाने वाला है. 'कांतारा' की कहानी की जड़ में एक लोककथा है और पूरी फिल्म के नैरेटिव में एक वैसा ही सम्मोहन है जैसा लोककथाओं को सुनने में महसूस होता है. और वो इस फ्लो के साथ कहानी कहते हैं कि कोई भी मोमेंट खाली नहीं लगता और 'कांतारा' के संसार को देखते रहने की इच्छा बनी रहती है. 'कांतारा' उन फिल्मों में से है जो अगर आपने अभी थिएटर्स में नहीं देखी और बाद में ओटीटी पर देखी, तो ये अफसोस रहेगा कि थिएटर्स में इसे देखने का एक्सपीरियंस क्यों मिस कर गए! KGF बनाने वाले होम्बाले फिल्म्स की अगली फिल्म 'कांतारा' कन्नड़ में बनी है और 30 सितंबर को थिएटर्स में रिलीज होने के बाद से जमकर तारीफ बटोर रही थी.

Kantara resists the temptation and is none the worse for it. The loss still haunts Shiva and spurs him on to fight for the protection of his cultural/spiritual moorings. Legends and myths prevalent in the area and beliefs flowing out the forest dwellers' collective memory constitute the narrative crux of the story. The deity, infuriated at the violation of the long-standing covenant, metes out instantaneous punishment to the offender. His impulsive response to provocations put him on a collision course with the powers that be and his own mother, Kamala (Manasi Sudhir). As screenwriter, his output is probably just a touch shy of being perfect, but the script has enough heft and vibrancy to translate into a mass entertainer that is visceral, rousing and unwaveringly riveting.

On the whole, Kantara is a rustic village drama that has been narrated in a gritty manner. He is one of the biggest backbones of the film, without any doubt. On the flip side, the film’s story is predictable and has a lengthy runtime. The film’s production values are no less than any big-budget film, which is visible in every frame of the film. The film is set in the year 1847 in the Kundapur village of Karnataka. A few scenes will surely remind us of films that came in the similar genre. There are a good number of goosebumps moments that will make the masses go crazy especially in the climax. Things would have been much better had the scenes here been executed in an engrossing and engaging manner. The action scenes are solid and give a high. The production design is terrific and the arresting visuals will surely hold your attention. The love track between Rishabh and Sapthami Gowda is handled very well. This Kannada film created a good buzz in the past few days and has been dubbed in Telugu.

Kantara Review: మూవీ రివ్యూ: కాంతార (Greatandhra Telugu)

టైటిల్: కాంతార రేటింగ్: 3/5 తారాగణం: రిషబ్ శెట్టి, కిషోర్, సప్తమి గౌడ, అచ్యుత్ కుమార్, ...

ఎక్కడా డబ్బింగ్ సినిమా పాటల్లాగ లేవు. కొత్త తరహా కథలు రావాలి అని కోరుకునే వారికి "కాంతార" కొంత ఉపశమనాన్ని ఇస్తుంది. కథలో కచ్చితంగా లాజిక్ ఉండాలనుకునే వారికి మాత్రం ఆయాసాన్నిస్తుంది. అతను ఆ పూనకంలో ఊరి పెద్దకి ఊరి మేలు కోసం దిశానిర్దేశం చేస్తుంటాడు. ఒక జానర్ అని కాకుండా అన్నీ మిళితం చేసి కలగాపులగంగా రాసుకున్న కథ ఇది. అభూతకల్పన అయినా, రియలిస్టిక్ అయినా, సూపర్ నేచరల్ అయినా, క్రైం అయినా..ఏ జానర్ అయినా కూడా సాంకేతికతతో హిస్టిరికల్ గా అద్భుతాన్ని సృష్టంచగలిగితే కథలో లోపాలు కూడా ప్రేక్షకుల అనుభూతికి అడ్డురావు. ఎక్కడా వాడుకలో లేని పదాలు లేవు. విలన్ పాత్రలో అచ్యుత్ కుమార్ డబుల్ షేడ్ లో నటించి మెప్పించాడు. కథానాయక పాత్రలో రచయిత దర్శకుడు అయిన రిషబ్ శెట్టి చక్కగా ఒదిగిపోయాడు. కానీ ఊరి పెద్ద దైవ ధిక్కారం వల్ల ఆ పూనకంలోనే అతను మిస్టీరియస్ గా మాయమైపోతాడు. అవన్నీ అద్భుతంగా ఉండడం వల్ల కథలో కూడా ఏదో అద్భుతముందనే భావన కలుగుతుంది. కథ ఇది..అని అర్థం కావడానికి చాలా సమయం పడుతుంది.
