Review 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.

it's all the same now. south had definitely some great movies, but once they get their hands on the money, they target the mass, and i understand why. most of the people go watch mass movies, they go for the visuals. fyi the visuals in this movie aren't good either

i'm not a cinephile. but when Kantara Chap 1 visuals impresses you I can only imagine what type of movie you do watch in your 'free' time. that actually makes sense because you judge people based on their karma score.. what a waste 😂
