The opening and ending scene of Kantara is nothing like you've seen before. The way they wrote the mythological background was so good. But those are limited to the opening scene and climax. What happens in between is the overtold story of the rough hero who gets into trouble for his locality, his love interest and the conflict in the name of their place. I can't believe they still write characters like Sreevalli and Leela. In the very first scene in which Leela is introduced, the hero straight up physically assaults her. There are other ways to write a romance, you know? No matter how progressed these movies become. They just can't get the female characters right. The screenplay, direction cinematography, stunts, artwork and acting are pretty great. The screaming could've been dialed down a bit. The repeated screams might give you a headache. Rishab Shetty's performance in the climax is hands down one of the finest work I've ever seen in a Kannada movie. He handled something that could've gone very wrong really well. It's theater material. Each person is different. This review is my opinion. Watch it in theaters and decide for yourself. Movies like these are made for theatres.

Why is this nonsense movie rated so high? It has absolutely nothing. I repeat nothing for anyone to get entertained. All that "waaaoooh" shouts all over the movie. No story, no good action, no suspense, no drama, no horror, NOTHING. I kept watching it till end (at 1.5x on Netflix) to see if something interesting would come (as the story build up at beginning was promising). But nothing. I really don't have any more words to put in, it's just because of minimum characters requirements I am writing this. After you'd watch it (as you'd somehow as it's 8.6+ rated), you'd come to appreciate my review!

There is a trend now in India to hype up all the south films irrespective of how good or bad they are. The same has happened with this film too. By no means this is a bad film but to be honest, it's neither a masterpiece. The film has a strong start, you feel like you are watching old school legends about the supernatural but it does not last long. The first 20 mins and the last 10 mins has the UNIQUE factor in the film which is mostly making people go crazy but to keep things in perspective is that enough given the fact that it's a 2hr 30min long film? The performances by the main cast are good and especially great in the climax but everything in the middle is just fluff. You can see shades of pushpa and even Asuran in terms of setting, conflicts between the authorities and the common villegers. At the core it's just another the oppressed vs the oppresor theme which has been seen multiple times in South cinema, and Asuran is a great example of how it's done. Kantara feels flat in the middle with the same tropes of South Indian cinema and offers nothing new except the first and the Last act.

Omg. It's definitely not a masterpiece which everyone was hyping about. I get it yes it's from South and u need to hype and it and praise just any product coming from there but atleast use the butter in limit not overdo it like u guys did here by making it the highest rated movie right now. Coming to the movie it was a snoozefest and a headache inducing movie . Snoozefest for how boring it was and headache for how boring it became and how i just wanted to leave the theatre and wishing for the climax to come as fast as possible. The movie plot is as generic as it can get we have thousands of movies with similar plot. Hero , Villian , Poor Rich , Village and Politicians. The movie met every criteria for how generic a plot can be written. The director actor producer didn't let anything distract him from writing such a plot which we have seen from last 30 years or more. The love story omg literally horrible and totally irrelevant didn't contributed anything for the plot it was just there to stretch the already way long movie . The first half was boring af but i still had some hope that second half might revive it but it became unbearable and i was sleeping in action scenes too and waiting for the climax. The love story had typical harrassment scenes which were romanticized as the heroine also didn't had any problem with . The comedy was also extremely forced and cringe like i was watching some 90's comedy movie. Acting was crap in many scenes apart from the Cop and Rishabh. Many scenes were like why is it even there , no need of those scenes they were just put to cross the 2 hour mark maybe for some reason. The heroine was completely useless as i said the love story didn't contributed even a bit . Everything can't be bad surely. The climax was good ( not great for sure ) the acting was great though which elevated the scene but i have seen such performance from Dhanush already in a much grounded version named Asuran which had similar plot but was much much better than this. Even people comparing it with a masterpiece like Tumbadd lol this is not even 10% of what that movie was . If u don't believe u are free to waste your time and money which I did too listening to other overhyped reviews and now regretting about it.
