Kantara Chapter 1: Review
Kantara: Chapter 1 begins slowly. The entire first half of the film is used for world-building, which doesn’t make sense at first. While every attempt is made to flesh out all characters from the start, some sequences seem unnecessarily dragged out. However, the film wastes no time in the second half. The plot becomes more interesting, the pace is faster, and it ends with a shocking twist.
The elaborate action sequences get their due in the second half, and so does Rishab Shetty, the actor. A “possessed” Rishab Shetty is a force on screen. He compels you to appreciate his talent and has a natural tendency to grab your attention every time he is on screen.
