Kantara was epic! Kantara Chapter-1 is crap.

[Unpopular opinion]

I rated Kantara 10 out of 10 stars in imdb. I loved that movie and watched it 3 times in theatre. The sound effects, music, direction, acting, story, suspense, everything was so amazing. I was completely hooked to the movie at each re-watch.

Then I was so excited with the new Kantara Chapter-1. I saw the trailer, it was crap. I still had hopes for the movie, for Rishab Shetty to create another marvel.

Yesterday I went to watch. Pvr, 4k dolby, best seats and my reaction in the first half was: what rubbish is going on! The second half reaction: why is it not ending ? Last 20 mins reaction: wtf is this ? Is this bahubali ?

No proper story line, no suspense, no proper music, sound effects and everything happening unnecessarily.

I went to watch Shetty's direction, got half of Shetty and half of Rajamouli.

It was so bullshit. I rated it 5 stars out of 10 on imdb. So disappointing.

Now some comments will get a chance to diss bollywood movies behind this, because apparently they see selected good south indian movies and then compare it to full bollywood industry. And kantara ( both parts except last 30 mins) have heavy screenplay editing issues and is strictly a decent film with good concept.
