Editor’s note: Here’s a quick take on Kantara (2022): It leans into its Action, Adventure, Thriller roots without feeling derivative. Under Rishab Shetty’s direction, the film keeps a steady rhythm and a clear sense of place. Standout turns from Rishab Shetty, Sapthami Gowda, Kishore keep it engaging even in quieter stretches. At 2h 27m, it moves with a measured pace and rarely overstays a scene. Reception is decent overall; not a game-changer, but hardly disposable. Its tagline — “A Legend” — actually reflects the film’s intent. If the premise speaks to you, this one’s easy to recommend.
