Kantara's legacy continues: The rise before the roar
Following the phenomenal success of 'Kantara' (2022), which became one of Indian cinema's biggest sleeper hits, 'Kantara: Chapter 1' promises to be even more immersive and grand. While the original explored the mysticism rooted in coastal Karnataka, the prequel will take us to the very origins of that legend, offering a deeper dive into the folklore and spirituality that made the first film a cultural milestone.
ETimes gave the first part a rating of 4 stars and our review reads, "The film is a visual grandeur. DOP Aravind Kashyap has done a brilliant job with lighting and frames. A lot of attention is given to the making, which is dipped in folklore. Situational village comedy works well for the film. The film explores the culture of Tulunadu without any compromise. B Ajaneesh Loknath's music is soothing. With plenty to savour for both mass and class audience, Kantara undoubtedly makes for a wonderful theatrical experience."
With the poster already going viral, 'Kantara: Chapter 1' is not just a prequel—it's surely going to be a milestone in Indian cinema.
