Reviews for Kantara
Kantara is a story about folklore, the value of land, and people’s ideals. It was written by Rishab Shetty.
Synopsis: The story of Kantara starts in the 18th century when a king offers the peasants a piece of land in exchange for happiness and tranquility. A few decades later, the king’s descendant shows up at a Bhoota Kola (a customary dance performed in honor of the local deities) and demands that the tribal people give back their territory. He does, however, pass away tragically.
The forest officer Murali (Kishore) wants to stop the superstitious practices and protect the forest from the people 20 years later. A hysterical henchman named Shiva (Rishab Shetty) speaks up for the entire town. Leela (Sapthami Gowda) is hired as a forest guard in the meantime, but she struggles to balance her professional and personal goals. Will she stance herself? Is Murali the true bad guy? When landlord Devendra Suttur (Achyuth Kumar) offers assistance to the peasants, what is he hoping to achieve?
According to India Today, the film is one of those rare ones that makes you eager and excited about what is going to happen next. A two-and-a-half-hour film brings to life the traditional Daivaradhane and Bhoota Kola heritage (old dance forms).
Rishab Shetty is the brain behind the movie since he has written, directed as well as played the lead role in the film. With Kantara, Rishab gives us the audience an opportunity to notice his talents. Kantara begins on a great note and the high point of this film are the characters. The movie will keep you hooked and make you want more. The climax and pre climax act will give you “goosebumps”. India Today gives Kantara 3.5 stars out of 5.
Following its success with the general public, the movie is now being praised by famous people in a variety of professions. Many luminaries, including Prithviraj Sukumaran and Prabhas, have expressed their admiration for the movie on social media by sharing their viewing experiences.

Tragic Road Accidents in Mumbai Spark Concerns Over Safety
A four-year-old boy tragically lost his life in Mumbai after being hit by a speeding car driven by a 19-year-old. The accident occurred in the Wadala area while the child was playing on the road, police reported.
This heartbreaking incident follows another fatal road accident earlier this month in Mumbai. On December 9, a driver of a civic-operated electric bus lost control in Kurla, causing a catastrophic crash. The accident resulted in seven deaths, 42 injuries, and damage to over 20 vehicles.
The electric bus incident, captured on CCTV, has heightened public concern about road safety in Mumbai. Police arrested the driver, Sanjay More, and charged him with culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
Concerns Over Road Safety in Maharashtra
Maharashtra is among the states with the highest number of road accidents in India, as per a report by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. From 2018 to 2022, the state recorded 66,370 road accident deaths, ranking third nationwide after Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, addressing the Parliament winter session, revealed alarming statistics about road accidents in India. Every year, road accidents claim approximately 1,78,000 lives, with 60 percent of victims aged between 18 and 34.
These incidents highlight the urgent need for stricter road safety measures in Mumbai and Maharashtra. With an increasing number of young lives lost, both authorities and citizens must work towards safer roads. Enhanced driver training, stricter penalties, and public awareness campaigns are critical to addressing this issue.
