Kantara

It's an amazing movie showcasing the regional culture of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi region of Karnataka.

I am from this region and am familiar with the tradition of Bhoota Aradhana. This may seem superstitious and even scary initially, but it's okay, believe me, even I felt or used to feel the same. My humble request to the audience who are not familiar with this tradition, is that you to do a small research into 'Bhoota Kola' , 'Panjurli' and 'Guliga' daivas...this would make your experience and understanding this movie more enjoyable!.

This movie is a masterpiece trying to bring out the hidden, often misunderstood traditions into the mainstream. This is the reality, who many people in our country are not aware and it's absolutely okay. Such movies are helpful to make us all understand that India is a land of such a diversity and yet so beautiful!

Seriously, one of the most overrated movies I've watched Basically "Pushpa With Fantasy Elements" Is what summarizes this film.

Only the scenes involving Panjauli dev(Opening scene, horror scenes, climax) were good and worth watching Otherwise it's just Pushpa, nothing else Promoting all kind of anti social activities like objectifying women, disrespecting government officials, destroying forest, illegal animal hunting, etc

Didn't even consider cheesy dialogues, bad acting by some cast members(Ofc Rishabh Shetty did a good job here) and still it's so much.

I'd have given it 5/10(Rating Of Film Pushpa) The only reason it got a little more is because of the scenes involving Panjurli dev.

I seriously dont undertsand all the hooplah around it. Yes, the God-messenger thing is kind of novel but everything else is what we have been seeing in Indian movies for past several decades, the main storyline being the rich oppressing the poor or say the upper class oppressing the lower. Acting is loud, so is the background, it felt more like noise than background score. Climax is good, everything else is bore. I didnt find anything worth praising, there arent any special moments or dialogues either. I found it nothing but loud, too loud. Filled with overacting characters. I repent watching it.

Epitome of acting! Chilling experience!

It's a mystical thriller and slice of life......... Top class direction, BGM, cinematography, choreography & touch of spirituality. I watched yesterday night, and the movie's experience is still with me like an hang over and not able to get out of it!!!!!!!!

There are times in history of cinema, when nativity of certain culture comes to life, with such authenticity, at the same time keeping the mystical part without dilution, and enhancing audience experience to touch the divinity! Watch to experience it.

Kudos to Producer and director for giving us such cult classic!! Whooooooooo.

This is a masala movie with some artistic touch. I feel it is hyped to the moon and you may feel underwhelmed after watching it. Totally predictable but the last 15 minutes are worth waiting. Atleast 20 minutes of the film could have been edited out. But still I think the movie has heart and shows us that a cinematicaly beautiful film is possible to make in budget. I saw some reviews and film essays after watching the movie and just can't understand how people can say it is beyond understanding. I may sound little harsh but it is because I felt cheated by all those YouTube movies reviewers who hyped this film like crazy.
