Plot
When the ruthless King wants to rule the entire land and water, he conquers all the possible areas by killing everyone, irrespective of age and gender. When he discovers the riches in the forest, he decides to find out the source. However, the forest is guarded by Kantara’s divine power. After decades, King Vijayendra’s son Kulasekhara becomes the new Bangra King. Kanakavathi, the princess, is in charge of the treasury. Berme is the Kantara tribal leader. Berme wants to improve the lives of his people. He, along with his men, enters the Bangra Kingdom. What is their next plan? What will Kulasekhara do?
Star Performance
Rishab Shetty’s commanding performance earns him a standing ovation. He excels in the scenes of divine possession. Rukmini is fantastic with her performance. Hers is a surprise gift for the audience. She utilized the opportunity of the strong role given to her and did complete justice to it. Jayaram excelled in his role. Gulshan Devaiah is okay in his role.
Analysis
Before discussing the film, we can say that it is a stunning visual spectacle, which leaves us with Goosebumps. Every frame showcases the richness. The VFX works are marvellous. Those visuals showcasing animals are the finest examples of graphic technology. Almost all the characters are finely placed. Although Gulshan is a wonderful actor, unlike others, he didn’t fit well, despite his excellent performance. When all information is dumped into a particular sequence, it makes us feel slightly overloaded. It should’ve been split into a few sequences. The interval block is excellently designed and will surely give Goosebumps to the audience who love watching divine elements. The music is good; however, in a few scenes, we feel that it is too loud. The action sequences are fantastically choreographed. The climax scenes are just awesome, and it is recommended to watch the film in theatres for an exceptional visual experience.

Verdict
The mind-blogging visuals, interval and climax portions that create Goosebumps, and the performances suggest that we watch the film in theatres to feel the essence. Kantara Chapter 1 – Hats off to you, Rishabh and team!
