Review of the movie “Kantara”: Rishab Shetty creates a moving and rooted story.
Our filmmakers have always had enough of material to work with when it comes to conflicts between man and environment. Even though it deals with the same idea, Rishab Shetty’s Kantara makes an effort to be unique and succeeds in doing so by remaining grounded and genuine.
Rishab demonstrated his talent for narrating tales set in the coastal region of Karnataka even in his earlier films, Ricky and Sa.Hi.Pra Shaale. He also walks into the woods with Kantara to discuss protecting trees, all the while producing a riveting revenge-action thriller with a mix of crime and religion.
A king trades a plot of land with his subjects in the 18th century and then departs in search of peace and happiness in the imaginary village of Dakshina Kannada, where Kantara is located. The same terrain poses a threat to the local tribal people centuries later, but they remain convinced that their guardian demigods will keep the village safe. The scenario then jumps to the 1990s, where we witness a conflict between forest-dwelling people and the forest inspector who wants to cleanse the region of any encroachment.
Shiva (Rishab Shetty) and his companions lead carefree lives, but they frequently clash with the forest ranger Murali (Kishore), who only seeks to protect the law. Devendra Suttur, a politician, is another character we have; Achyuth Kumar plays him. However, there is a greater evil at play, and Kantara tells the story of Shiva’s battle to bring justice to the villagers.
The picture has a fantastic conclusion at the end, which is unquestionably Kantara’s USP. In Kantara, different points of view are presented, and Rishab, who also wrote and directed the movie, does a fantastic job of bringing them all together.
With every movie, Rishab just gets better, and Hombale Films’ support has helped the director to make the movie more genuine. The chapters of Bhoota Kola and Kambala give it a unique flavour despite the fact that it deals with a well-known theme—the fight between humans and nature. The movie has gorgeous frames throughout. Kantara is lit up in brilliant tones by DOP Aravind Kashyap, who is skillfully assisted by art director Dharani Gange Putra in giving Kantara a pretty organic appearance.
Additionally, Kantara examines certain important topics like caste prejudice. Even though there isn’t a dedicated comedy track, several of the characters have enough peculiarities to up the fun factor. The narration in the movie is clear, and the well-staged action scenes deserve particular praise.
In Kantara, composer Ajaneesh Loknath excels. His folk songs are calming, but the background music highlights Kantara’s story.
Shiva is brilliantly portrayed by actor Rishab, who gives life to this unusual character. For the part, he underwent a significant and severe change, and the results are obvious. Rishab will undoubtedly receive cheers and applause from the audience for his performance in the suspenseful conclusion. In Kantara, Sapthami Gowda gives a respectable performance as Shiva’s love interest and forest guard Leela. Kishore and Achyuth both put on strong performances, and it is enjoyable to see Kishore’s passionate ego conflicts with Shiva. The acting of Manasi Sudhir, Pramod Shetty, and Prakash Thuminad is also respectable.
With Kantara, Rishab once again works his acting and directing magic to produce a show with a strong social message and an even stronger finale.
Rishab Shetty is the filmmaker.
Cast includes Kishore, Achyuth Kumar, Sapthami Gowda, and Rishabh Shetty.

According to Kangana Ranaut, she and Shah Rukh Khan represent the final generation of stars. “Stars nahin ban rahe hain OTT pe”
Kangana Ranaut has denied speculations about joining politics solely due to the box office failure of her films.
Kangana Ranaut, the BJP’s Lok Sabha candidate from Mandi for the 2024 elections, expressed gratitude towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi for her political entrance.

Reacting to her films’ box office failure, Kangana Ranaut
Kangana responded to a question about her career, stating that she has never had a flop. She compared Shah Rukh Khan’s films to Pathaan, Queen, and Manikarnika, noting that if she had a flop in Emergency, it would be a big hit. Kangana compared her career to Shah Rukh Khan, who had consecutive flops for ten years. She also mentioned that she had not had a single hit for 7-8 years before Queen, but after that, she had a few good movies.
No stars from OTT?
The last generation of stars, known for their talent and demand, are now able to showcase their talents more through OTT. However, the author expresses a desire to involve themselves more with the real world, rather than being consumed by the arts, stating that they are not satisfied with the current status quo.
