Although definitely over the top, “Kantara” emerges as a film well-written, directed, acted and visually impressive, in a truly entertaining package that even justifies its 148 minutes.

Gandhi's point is clear and precise, there is a thin line that separates glorification from disfavour. It is on us, the audience, to decide which side we want to favour.

KANTARA is a film that proves how much appeal and fascination a very regional subject matter can have when the filmmakers tell their story with so much passion and dedication.

Kantara isn’t a magic-realist fable set in rural India at all, but basically a toxic KGF clone with a plot denser than the forest in which its (toxic) hero lives.
