Kantara Review

The film Kantara is a fabulous movie that has a very unique and intriguing storyline. It is also a delight for the eyes because it is visually pleasing. The film covers wide topics like ancestral land, customs, traditions, karma, friendship, conflict, revenge, the idea of rituals whilst living in contemporary society, and more. These are fascinating topics that are looked at from a very fresh perspective through this film. Rishab Shetty has done a fantastic performance. The choice of actors was perfect and all of them individually gave their all, doing justice to their respective characters. The local sounds and essence of forests only add to the charm of the film. The art department deserves separate appreciation and the choice of locations was also a bonus. The plot development was so fantastic that the audience is gripped by the movie until the very end which makes it more worthy of being watched.
