Worthy Theatrical Experience!
Forest politics on a period setup is an interesting one, yet the content feels average due to its scattered screenplay. However the unmatched making, terrific visuals and exhilarating presentation of certain sequences hide the shortcomings.(more)

Rishab Shetty's folklore saga is a spellbinding spectacle
The prequel's climax and the Guliga sequences deserve special mention and multiple rewatches. Rishab Shetty, as a performer, is truly a force of nature in these moments. With visuals this arresting and a story this evocative, one can't help but fall in love with the world of Rishab Shetty�s �Kantara'. For that, and for the visual feast that 'Kantara: Chapter 1' is, it is likely to be counted among the best films of the year.(more)

Captivating action drama
Kantara: Chapter 1 is a captivating action drama that has a good amount of goosebump-inducing moments. The film will win us over with its standout interval and climax portions, divine elements, jaw-dropping visuals, and mind-boggling VFX. Rishab Shetty is outstanding, while Rukmini Vasanth is solid in a well-written role. The slow pacing at times, dragged-out portions, and the overstuffed scenes with too much information act as the key drawbacks. Nonetheless Kantara Chapter 1 is a theatre-worthy film for its technical brilliance.(more)
