Kantara - A Legend Chapter 1 (2025) Kannada Movie Review

 


Kantara - A Legend : Chapter 1 (2025)

Acted, Written and Directed by Rishab Shetty 


Overview 

This film is the prequel of the Kantara Movie which was released in 2022. But if you aren't watched that part, you can also see this movie. Because a brief recap was seen in the first few minutes. So that's not a big problem to watch this sequel. 

Actually that first part was strictly an average flick for me. Everything was mid except that Climax. In my opinion, that Climax was saved the whole movie. Also I don't have too much hope and expectations for this Chapter 1. But that Trailer was impressed me. That's why I was waited for this film. 

This film is portrayed the rivalry of the Bhangra Kingdom and the Kantara Tribe. Barman, played by Rishab Shetty was the leader of the Kantara Tribe and Rajasekhara, played by Jayaram, the King of Bhangra - his son Kulasekhara, played by Gulshan Devaiah - his daughter, Kanakavathi, played by Rukmini Vasant are the major characters in Kantara Chapter 1. Everyone done their roles very well. Some of them are done Extraordinary Performances, that will discuss in the Positive part. 


Positives

Rishab Shetty - The Soul of Kantara ❤‍๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Yes, he is an Absolute Show Stealer, he given the blood and life to the character and the film itself. That post interval scene was literally made an 'Explosion' in the theatre. As an Actor, Director and Writer, he done a great job. His aura is Unbelievable. What an Energetic Performance Mahn...๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Also Jayaram and Rukmini Vasant was justified their characters. After a long, Our Jayaram Ettan got a Superb character and he was just amazing in that character. 

Top Level Making and Technical Quality ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’Ž 

The Major Attraction of this film is its top quality making, enhanced color grading, and the stunning VFX department. Every technical departments, especially the Art Department and the Production Team was simply superb.

Arvind Kashyap Magical Frames ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘Œ

He was also the Cinematographer of the Kantara First part. Each and every Frames are highly rich and Mind-blowing. His Visual storytelling was Marvelous. 

Songs and Background Score ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ’ฅ

B. Ajaneesh Loknath - also done tracks and score in the first part. His scoring just elevated most of the scenes. 'Varaha Roopam' song placement was very nice. He done every tracks according to the mood of the movie. 


Negatives 

Unwanted Humourous Scenes 

Some of the counters are worked for me but most of the comedy scenes are spoiled the flow and mood of the movie. Some of them are pakka cringe level items. I think avoiding those scenes, the film will be more crisp and not that much lengthy. It's a highly sensitive and serious film, so that much humour scenes are unnecessary. Especially in the first half. In my opinion, most of them are too forced. It could have been avoided by the writers themselves.


My Opinion 

Kantara Chapter 1 >>> Kantara (2022) ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Peak Theatre Experience Guaranteed ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Just Get into the World of Kantara - The Greatest Garden of God ✨

Waiting for the Chapter 2 ๐Ÿ‘
