We chatted about his smash hit #Kantara, the art of marrying myth to masala and what he plans to do now – first, he says, he is taking a long holiday! Interview coming soon on @FilmCompanion, she Tweeted.
Twitter Slams Anupama
This tweet however did not go down well with the netizens. Many slammed her for calling ‘Daiva ardhyane’ to be a myth. One Twitter user wrote,””Art of marrying myth to masala” is trivalising the effort of @shetty_rishab. ‘Daiva ardhyane’ is not a myth but very much in practice in the coastal districts of Karnataka. @anupamachopra is not aware of the devotion behind the pratice of invoking spirits as shown in the movie.”
Another one wrote, “WTF is myth. Might me a myth for the likes of you..but for us it’s faith, emotion, and some real, divine experiences.”
The third one writes, “Myth to masala???? I hope she needs to listen to couple of true stories related to Demigods and miracles happened around Mangalore.”
“Myth to masala ? Do u understand what u are saying.? Whatever shown in movie is not myth..its our culture snd tradition..which liberals won’t understand..” the fourth one writes.
Anupama lauded Kantara
Previously, the well-known critic had lauded Rishab Shetty’s work in Kantara. She had earlier Tweeted after watching the movie, “Team @FilmCompanion after watching #Kantara – what a gorgeous, trippy, dense, eerie, ambitious film. Mind has officially been blown. Thanks @vijaysubs for the screening!
