While the film leans heavily on the charisma of centuries-old folklore and traditions, Rishab Shetty shows it in the garb of a masala film that is not only entertaining but also greatly original. Here’s what Rakshit Shetty said after watching Kantara.
Rakshit Shetty’s reaction
Kantara is a critical story that is portrayed stunningly with the help of folklore and art that is native to the Kundapura region. Rishab Shetty’s film is rooted, it is deep and it is performed so stunningly, that there are moments that leave you shellshocked.

Rakshit Shetty, who is also one of Rishab’s closest pals, also watched the film and was astounded. The last 20 minutes of Kantara were a shocker to the 777 Charlie actor.
In a Tweet, Rakshit wrote, “Kantara… last 20 mins will take your breath out. Rishab at his best… or should I say THE GULIGA himself personified in him. You wouldn’t have seen anything like this in Indian cinema…”
In another tweet, he adds, “I am so so overwhelmed with the climax that I can’t explain. Really need to make a quick trip to Udupi and visit the divine energy.”
I am so so overwhelmed with the climax that I can’t explain. Really need to make a quick trip to Udupi and visit the divine energy ?

The climax of the film
Also at the premiere show, the Avane Srimannarayana actor had a special message for his pal Rishab Shetty. He said, “The last few hours of the film were brilliant. And I have never seen a film that has excited me so much. No doubt Kantara is going to be a super hit film. The climax of the film will be remembered forever.”
