EnterTheVoid Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Ordinary movie, can't understand the hype. The story didn't even make any sense. 1/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) The mallu music group had raised a copyright violation in Kerala courts and it was banned in Kerala and also in OTT. The matter is still being fought in court. but the version in prime is an inferior composition and it doesn’t have the same effect on the ending. Looks ordinary Edited November 27, 2022 by coffee_rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilander Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) Folks need to understand the three dimensional chess that creatives like Shetty need to play to arrive at the finished product. If he does not give mass scenes the masses will ditch and you need those useful idiots so the story he wanted to tell will be hidden below layers of masala that he needs to weave to get the masses to the theater. The audience has to mature before they make world class stories but what is apparent is creatives in india have understood the art of getting unique original stories as the market is rewarding that now. Next is the masses maturing as an audience then india will dominate world class movie making at far lesser budgets, as everything else. Not far off I say 5 years to 10 years.

kepler37b Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Saw this movie in OTT. Realized the value of Big Screen. Entertainment on OTT is like a speck when compared to big screen. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maniac Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Will give it a go. @coffee_rules bhai most kannadigas get upset when you say KGF sucks so will tread carefully. being brought up on a diet of Telugu films I have reached a stage where I can suspend disbelief when Telugu heroes do ridiculous gravity defying stunts so now couldn’t buy into a Kannada hero I didn’t know about doing the same :) Hopefully Kantara is better. I did watch randomly their earlier work Garuda Gamana… and thought it was different and well made technically so will look forward to watching it tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can vouch that it is better than KGF, KGF Is crap, Roopa etc. Recommend to watch Kannada with subtitles, but if you don’t prefer to read movies, the Telugu version is pretty good Edited December 1, 2022 by coffee_rules maniac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal Opinion. When I saw it on bigscreen, in original kannada language, I was stunned. Literally. But on TV, it is just mehhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many screen play elements could have gone better it has kamals creative interference written all over it, but still enjoyable nostalgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilander Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 In vikram I thought fasils character was wasted to enable kamals character to show heroism, again to fan service mass fans, at cost of a gripping story. ravishingravi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t even watch KGF 2. sometimes a movie just doesn’t click with you even if others love it. ravishingravi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing first half, once Kamal’s char is revealed, director lost the plot and went gung-ho on mindless violence and action and it went spirally down.
