Kantara, which translates to “a mythical forest,” narrates the tale of a local demigod (Bhoota) who, in exchange for happiness in 1870, grants forest territory to the tribe’s inhabitants with a monarch. Many years later, when the king’s son grows greedy and wants the land back, he dies due to the anger of Bhoota.
Dhanush tweeted, “Kantara .. Mind blowing !! A must watch .. Rishab Shetty, you should be very proud of yourself. Congratulations Hombale films .. keep pushing the boundaries. A big hug to all the actors and technicians of the film. God bless (sic).”
Kishore, Achyuth Kumar, Sapthami Gowda, and Pramod Shetty are among the other actors who appear in the movie. With a global 13-day box office gross of $90 crore, it is having an incredible run. It has made almost 70 crore in Karnataka so far and is still doing well at the box office.
Kantara has surpassed KGF: Chapter 2 to become the Indian movie with the highest IMDb rating. The movie now has the highest IMDb rating for an Indian film, 9.4, at this time. KGF Chapter 2 (8.4) and SS Rajamouli’s RRR come next. The movie Ponniyin Selvan: 1 was released alongside Mani Ratnam’s masterpiece, but it nevertheless performed incredibly well at the box office.
Last week, Chiranjeevi’s Godfather enjoyed a respectable opening in Karnataka and amassed roughly $8 crore in its first week of distribution. Godfather and Ponniyin Selvan had no impact on Kantara’s chances at the box office.
