⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kantara
-
Though
the
film
is
set
in
the
rural
backdrop,
the
producers
@hombalefilms
have
spent
big
so
that
there
is
no
compromise
with
the
quality.
Visually
stunning!
They
are
the
torchbearers
for
the
quality
Kannada

The
plot
of
the
movie
is
too
good.
Their
culture
and
way
of
life
have
been
described
beautifully
in
a
wonderful
story.
Each
&
every
character
acting
is
so
natural.
Even
comedies
also
worked
well.

@Thyview
#Kantara
is
entertaining
from
start
to
finish.
@shetty_rishab
shines
as
both
the
director
as
well
as
the
actor
and
puts
forth
a
career
best
display
in
both
roles.
The
first
half
builds
the
world,
establishes
character
motivations
and
the
second
half
is
a
cathartic
payoff
to
the
scenes
in
the
first
half.
Overall,
Kantara
is
a
well-written
and
well-executed
film
with
many
highs
and
almost
no
lows.

Went
to
the
#Kantara
premier
trusting
The
Director
@shetty_rishab
but
came
out
as
a
die
hard
Fan
of
"The
Actor" Rishab.
That
last
15-20
mins
had
one
of
the
best
performances
ever
by
an
Indian
Actor.
Come
on
Kannadigas
and
Namma
Tuluvas
let's
make
this
Masterpiece
a
Blockbuster

Last
20
minutes
of
#Kantara
does
so
injustice
to
the
whole
film.
The
climax
scene
just
makes
you
forget
the
whole
movie.
What
a
movie!.
@shetty_rishab
sir,
it's
illegal
to
be
so
good
🫡
Speaking
about
the
film,
its
maker
Rishab
Shetty
was
quoted
saying
to
a
newspaper,
"It
is
a
film
from
our
land,
from
our
roots,
stories
that
have
been
passed
on
to
generations
which
are
deeply
rooted
to
our
culture.
The
more
regional
a
story,
the
more
global
it
can
get.
The
movie,
Kantara,
is
a
film
for
children
as
well."
He
further
added,
"I
have
a
dedicated
team
of
technicians
and
professionals
who
help
execute
my
vision.
I
won't
be
able
to
achieve
anything
on
my
own
without
their
help
and
any
appreciation
or
credit
will
be
shared
with
all
of
them."
