In the photos, the theatre seems to be full and there were audiences from different age groups watching the movie.
Meanwhile, a popular Kerala-based band Thaikkudam Bridge on Monday accused the makers of plagiarising one of their songs. The music band in their Instagram post pointed out that the song Varaha Roopam from Kantara is a copy of their song Navarasam.
However, in other languages, the film is being praised for its great production quality, sound technical aspects, strong storyline, and of course for the magnificent performance of all the actors. The action entertainer is backed by Homable films, the producers of the blockbuster Kannada film KGF starring Yash.
The film has grossed over Rs. 150 crores worldwide at the box office. Kantara, which translates to a mystical forest, is set in the 19th century in a village named Kundapur, where a king offers the local tribals a piece of land in exchange for a deity (Bhoota) that would present him with peace and happiness. Generations later, the successor of the king demands the land in return, and following this, he faces deadly consequences and perishes at Bhoota’s hands.
