Rishab Shetty’s Kantara is making a strong noise cutting across the borders upon the release of its dubbed versions. The movie is applauded by critics and audiences alike. Terrific performances, gripping narration and its background, make the film engrossing.
However, interestingly the film has some stark similarities with Sukumar & Ram Charan’s Rangasthalam. Especially, Achyuth Kumar’s character is closely resembling to Prakash Raj role. A la Rangasthalam, Kantara is also revenge drama. The protagonist Shiva’s brother gets killed by the village head Devendra and what forms is how the revenge is done. But Kantara has rural God and beliefs that separates it from Rangasthalam. In fact, Rangasthalam has better screenplay with twists.
Kantara scores well in the scale, performances and the honesty. One could term this as the Sandalwood’s Rangasthalam. Rishab Shetty, Sapthami Gowda, Achyuth Kumar and Kishore are walking away with the accolades. The Telugu version is released by Geetha Arts and the film’s drawing crowds due to strong word of mouth.
