Kantara (2022)
Movie
Released
Kannada, directed by Rishab Shetty. A dispute over forest land shares the frame with a community's sacred obligations, making the question of ownership more complicated than the official paperwork. The physical intensity of the performances is the immediate invitation. Begin with this 2022 film rather than assuming the later prequel is required; violence and the force of the ritual sequences can be overwhelming.

About Kantara
Shiva, a tribal vagabond lives with his mother in hamlet, stays away from the traditional Daivaradhane and Bhoota Kola legacy due to an unforgettable childhood incident. He is happy loafing around with his friends and doing petty jobs for his landlord. When Forest officer Murali enters the scene, it gives a fresh dimension to the man-vs-nature fight. Can Shiva save the forest from Murali? Or is Murali just a dummy bait cast by bigger fish?
