Tribal Tunes and Supernatural Thrills Captivate in Kantara Chapter 1

As of October 2nd, 2025, Rishab Shetty's highly anticipated Kantara Chapter 1 prequel has arrived in theaters, captivating audiences across India. The film takes viewers back in time, starting from the same point as the previous version, before quickly immersing them in the mystical forest of Kantara.

Within the first 10 minutes, the audience is introduced to Rishab Shetty and Gulshan Devaiah's characters, though the language barrier poses a slight concern. However, the music of the film is working in its favor, with a lively score that keeps the audience engaged.

One of the standout moments is the appearance of a tribal song on the screen, which the author finds deeply intriguing. Unfortunately, the Hindi version of the song does not quite hit the mark, leaving a sense of missed opportunity.

The story progresses at a leisurely pace during the first hour, but the audience nonetheless enjoys the gags and puns, maintaining an entertainment quotient of 10. The chemistry between Rishab Shetty and Rukmini Vasanth's characters is also a highlight, adding to the overall appeal of the film.

As the author prepares to share a full review in the coming days, the excitement surrounding Kantara Chapter 1 remains palpable, with the film captivating audiences across the country.
