We are living in exciting times when the audience is celebrating the power of good content. In the times when big-budget movies and superstar-loaded movies are failing at the box office, a small-budget movie Kantara is breaking records.
The whole country is caught up with the Kantara fever. Be it celebrities or critics or fans, everyone is applauding Kantara for being an extraordinary movie. People loved the movie so much that they demanded it to be India’s official entry at the Oscars next year.
Written & directed by Rishab Shetty, Kantara also stars him in the lead role. The movie is about a Kambala champion who comes at loggerheads with a DRDO officer in a small village bordering a reserve forest.
