Therefore, it is a prequel to Kantara: Chapter 1. Kantara: Chapter 1 is set in the Kadamba period in Karnataka. The Kadambas were significant rulers of parts of Karnataka and played a major role in shaping the architecture and culture of the region. That period was known to be a Golden Period of Indian History.

Kantara Chapter 1: News18 Showsha’s Review

News18 Showsha gave this movie a 3.5-star rating. “Is Kantara: Chapter 1 a National Award-worthy instalment in the franchise? I don’t think so. But should you still watch it? Absolutely. Despite some forgivable flaws, the film is a visual treat, and the second half will surely leave you jaw-dropped. Kantara: Chapter 1 is Rishab Shetty’s attempt at amalgamating Indian folklore with mainstream cinema, and this he does well,” a part of our review read.
