bharathh Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 The more I read about the context behind the folklore that this is based on the more I marvel at the filmmaking that went into this. Truly hats off to take a subject with such sensitivity and dedication. As a non-Kannadiga I did find the middle bit a little tedious - but the first part and obviously the climax more than make up for it. ravishingravi and coffee_rules 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Inspiration for the Varaha Roopam song. Pretty similar to Malayalam’s Navarasam music video (2017) . Music Director Ajneesh denies , but it’s pretty obvious. Totally inspired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a style of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had put this on the music thread last week comparing it to Varaha roopam. It's a style of music. varaha roopam is based on Thodi and Varali raaga mainly and so is Navarasam. But I am talking of the motif of the songs. the ensemble, the fusion of power chords in rock music and classical Karnataka music. I listen to a lot of music, both Indian classical and rock, it is not too difficult to miss such inspirations. The director has said they heard it and got inspired. . Both are greatly enjoyable, musically. https://jsnewstimes.com/entertainment/kannada/kantara-what-did-ajaneesh-say-to-those-who-said-varaha-roopam-song-was-copied-from-malayalam " "It definitely inspired me. Just because that doesn’t mean I copied it. I got inspiration from tempo, rock band style…’ said Ajaneesh.

ravishingravi Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Saw it the second time. Cried uncontrollably each time when Varaha Roopam played. I think what we are seeing now is whole generation of localized stories with influences or let's say exposure to global trends. It's no different in cricket where small towns seem to be producing the talent. The non Mumbai / Delhi crowd especially those from second and third tier seem to have string civilizational connect combined awareness of technique, diverse influences and uncluttered thought process. For me, critical appraisal doesn't mean much after a point. If filmmaker can pull strings in you, it's a success. Here the last 30 min is on different plane. But there is lots to like in rest of the movie as well. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black adam will have its audience Kantara will keep growing here , soon it will become a thing where ppl who havent seen it will start to feel left out and then even they ll watch it nahin rukegi nahin rukegi Edited October 22, 2022 by Ankit_sharma03 coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kepler37b Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Saw this masterpiece for second time. This time in telugu. Picked up few aspects that I missed. They could have chopped down the love story and concentrated on the interaction with Guliga deva more profound instead of simple jump scares. But well, there are commercial aspects. This is a winner of a movie inspite of all these minor nit pickings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impact in the finale is because of the build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just fights, the buildup, the realization of realities (while getting high on ganja), confronting at the dining table scene.. all added effect on the last 5 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
