It’s been a long time since Indian cinema gifted us something that truly feels larger than life.
After epics like Baahubali and RRR, here comes Kantara Chapter 1, a film that doesn’t just stand in that league, but in many ways feels even bigger and deeper, a true magnum opus.
Till Interval:
The first half is nothing short of a poetic journey. It celebrates nature, its resources, and the sacred relationship between Animals, humans, gods, and the environment we coexist with.
Every frame breathes respect for culture, land, and the unseen forces that guide life.
Watching it feels like you’re getting a 10,000x return on your ticket, the kind of experience you can’t put a price on.
The background score is pure goosebumps. Every time I listened to it, I was filled with pure devotion inside and lots of positivity.
Carrying forward the same unforgettable BGM from the first Kantara, this prequel elevates it into a spiritual wave that engulfs you.
The visuals are breathtaking, almost meditative, and they don’t let go till the interval.
You sense that this isn’t just a movie, it’s a cinematic prayer.
The way Indian culture, tradition, and history are presented is nothing short of extraordinary. The coexistence of Daivam (gods), humans, and even animals is shown with a raw authenticity that makes you pause and reflect. Truly, every frame tells its own story.
After Interval:
If the first half was a buildup, the second half is a thunderclap.
This is where Kantara Chapter 1 cements itself as the true magnum opus.
The divine energy of Shiva and Kali, represented in the ritual of Kola, shakes you to the core.
It’s powerful, spiritual, and visually spellbinding.
Rishab Shetty has outdone himself.
If the first Kantara proved his vision, this one proves his genius.
He has not only matched but surpassed even the cinematic standards set by giants like Rajamouli.
By the time the film ends, you realize you’ve just witnessed one of the greatest movies ever made in Indian cinema.
Final Word:
Kantara Chapter 1 isn’t just a film, it’s an experience, a celebration, and a reminder of the bond between man, nature, and the divine.
It’s the kind of movie that will be spoken about for generations, not just watched.
If this movie gets many national awards, selected for international movie awards like Oscars or collects more than 1000 crore, then don’t get surprised at all.
Very few times I get no words in my mind to write and describe something, Right now I’m exactly feeling the same to praise more to thiys movie.
Let me give my final ratings here…
It’s 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Again it’s 10/10 & 💯/💯
