Kantara Chapter 1 X Review
Rishabh Shetty’s Kantara: Chapter 1 has started trending across the country soon after its release. Fans and critics are praising the film for its strong story, cultural depth, and stunning visuals. The prequel explores the sacred significance of the jungle and highlights how faith and tradition protect communities from exploitation.
Rishabh Shetty shines once again in the role of Berme, who rises against the unjust King Kulshekhara. With action, spirituality, and folklore at its core, the movie carries forward the legacy of Kantara (2022), which had surprised audiences by winning National Awards and creating box office history.
The film narrates the story of Kulshekhara, crowned as King of Bangara, who rules with arrogance and exploitation. When he challenges the sanctity of the mystic forest, Berme, the strongest leader of the Kantara tribe, defends his people and their traditions. Tempted by the advances of the outside world, Berme steps out of the jungle, only to face caste discrimination and violence in Kulshekhara’s kingdom.
This journey highlights the constant battle between good and evil. Rishabh Shetty’s performance, combined with Gulshan Devaiah’s strong portrayal of Kulshekhara, creates a compelling narrative that resonates deeply with audiences.
Director-actor Rishabh Shetty balances devotion, folklore, and action with cinematic brilliance. The film’s cinematography, VFX, and background score elevate its impact on the big screen. Rukmini Vasanth makes her presence felt with a solid role alongside Shetty. While the Hindi-dubbed version uses colloquial words that feel out of place for the timeline, several important dialogues are retained in the original language to preserve authenticity. The gripping climax and breathtaking sequences have earned widespread praise. Viewers and critics have described the film as a technically outstanding production that combines traditional storytelling with modern cinematic excellence.
Fans have filled social media platforms with enthusiastic reviews for Kantara: Chapter 1. Many viewers called the movie “a masterpiece” and predicted another National Award for Rishabh Shetty. One user wrote that Shetty’s facial expressions alone “felt like a TED talk,” while another praised the climax
as “pure goosebumps.”
Some fans called it one of the finest films of recent years, while others highlighted its extraordinary visuals and impactful music. Reactions on X (formerly Twitter) also appreciated the performances, with several users describing the film as “once in a lifetime cinema” that deserves global recognition.
The film’s rising popularity has led fans to predict a massive box office run. Some social media users even claimed that the movie could cross Rs 5,000 crore worldwide. Others praised the entire cast and crew, calling the film a “superstar product.” Rishabh Shetty’s ability to blend devotion, action, and folklore continues to strike a chord with audiences.
Many fans are already calling for another National Award for his performance and direction. With strong reviews, heavy social media buzz, and growing box office numbers, Kantara: Chapter 1 seems set for another historic run like its predecessor.
