Kantara: A Legend Chapter-1 (2025)
5.7/10
would recommendsummary
Rishab Shetty has taken KFI to new heights. Incredible from a technical point, but as a movie in isolation - quite mediocre.
pros
- Rukmini Vasanth
- Set design is better than many Hollywood movies
- Incredible camera work and color grading
- Acting and casting is fantastic
- 9/10 CGI work. Super realistic tiger and monkeys
- Coastal Karnataka themes and language - always fun
- Great music
cons
- Feels like Rajamouli movie but Kannada. I'm not the target audience.
- First movie did the Daiva part so much better. IMO the religious connect in this movie is not really there?
- Very over the top and larger than life protagonist. Berme has no character development
- Flow of the movie isn't smooth, cut from one set to another feels abrupt
- No strong / natural emotions; very over the top
