'Kantara' movie review: Rishab Shetty delivers a compelling and rooted film

Conflicts between man and nature have always provided enough fodder for our filmmakers to dole out one film after the other. Rishab Shetty’s Kantara, though dealing with the same concept, strives to be original and wins at it by staying rooted and realistic.

Even in his previous films, Ricky and Sa.Hi.Pra Shaale, Rishab expressed his flair for telling stories of the coastal belt of Karnataka. With Kantara, he further goes deep into the woods to talk about safeguarding forests even while delivering a compelling revenge-action drama with a blend of crime and divinity.

Kantara is set in a fictional village of Dakshina Kannada, and begins in the 18th century when a king exchanges a piece of land with his people and moves on to find peace and happiness. Centuries later, the same land becomes a threat to the tribals of that area., but they believe their demigods, doubling up as their guardians, protect the village. The story shifts to the 90s, and we see the face-off between villagers who dwell in the forests, and the forest officer who wants to clear any encroachment in the area.

Shiva (Rishab Shetty) lives a carefree life with his friends, and is often at loggerheads with forest officer Murali (Kishore), who just wants to uphold the law of the land. We also have a politician Devendra Suttur (Achyuth Kumar), whose misdeeds become his identity. But there is a bigger evil at work, and Kantara is about Shiva’s struggle to bring justice to the people of the village.

The film ends with an outstanding climax, which is definitely the USP of Kantara. There are multiple viewpoints in Kantara, and it is all wonderfully brought together by Rishab, who has written and directed the film too.

Rishab is only getting better with each film, and the backing of Hombale Films has allowed the filmmaker to make the movie more realistic. Even though it runs on the familiar territory of human-nature conflict, the chapters of Bhoota kola and Kambala make it unique. Every frame of the film is beautiful. DOP Aravind Kashyap lights up Kantara in vivid shades, and with able support from art director Dharani Gange Putra, gives Kantara a rather natural look.

Kantara also explores some serious issues like caste discrimination. While there is no separate comedy track, there are enough quirks in some of the characters to add to the fun quotient. The film brings in crisp narration, and extra credit should be given to the well-orchestrated action sequences.

Composer Ajaneesh Loknath is marvellous in Kantara. While his folk melodies are soothing, the background score accentuates the narrative of Kantara.

Rishab, the actor, is outstanding as Shiva, and breathes life into this rather unconventional character. He has undergone a mass and intense transformation for the role, and the effects are evident. Rishab’s performance in the nail-biting climax will definitely make the audience cheer and applaud for him. Sapthami Gowda as forest guard Leela, who is also Shiva’s love interest, delivers a decent performance in Kantara. Kishore and Achyuth too give powerful performances, and it is a joy to watch the former’s intense ego clashes with Shiva. Manasi Sudhir, Pramod Shetty and Prakash Thuminad too are decent with their acts.

With Kantara, Rishab once again creates magic, both as a director and an actor, and delivers an entertainer with a strong social message, and an even stronger final act.

Director : Rishab Shetty

Cast : Rishab Shetty, Sapthami Gowda, Kishore, Achyuth Kumar

Unbelievable skill by the producer and director to create such a disastrous movie. Very poor script direction and editing and equally poor music. Actors are totally helpless. Not at all watchable.

Kismat Telugu Movie Review: Serendipity and Laughter with Naresh Agastya, Abhinav Gomatam, and Riya Suman

• February 2, 2024

Kismat Telugu Movie Review: Enter the whimsical world of ‘Kismat,’ where destiny intertwines with uproarious laughter, spun by the magnetic trio – Naresh Agastya, Abhinav Gomatam, and Riya Suman.

Kismat Telugu Movie Review

In the vibrant world of Telugu cinema, Srinath Badineni’s latest offering, “Kismat,” takes center stage. Released on February 2, this crime comedy promises a joyous ride through the realms of destiny, dreams, and unintended consequences. Starring Naresh Agastya, Srinivas Avasarala, Abhinav Gomatam, and Riya Suman in pivotal roles, “Kismat” beckons audiences with the allure of laughter, suspense, and unexpected twists. Let’s delve into the intricacies of this cinematic experience and unravel the mysteries of destiny woven into its narrative fabric.

Movie Details:

Directed by Srinath Badineni, “Kismat” is a Telugu comedy drama produced by Raju, with Ch Bhanuprasad serving as the co-producer. The film boasts a talented ensemble, including music director Mark K Robin, cinematographer Vedaraman Shankaran, and editor Viplav Nyshadam. The production design is handled by Ravi, ensuring a visually captivating experience. As we embark on this cinematic exploration, the stage is set for a tale that promises to entertain, enlighten, and perhaps even challenge our perceptions of fate.

Cast and Crew:

The backbone of any cinematic venture lies in its cast and crew, and “Kismat” doesn’t disappoint. Naresh Agastya, Srinivas Avasarala, Abhinav Gomatam, and Riya Suman lead the pack, infusing life into their respective characters. Ajay Ghosh, Temper Vamshi, Chammak Chandra, and Racha Ravi contribute their talents in supporting roles. With a directorial vision from Srinath Badineni and music that sets the mood by Mark K Robin, the stage is set for a journey into the comedic dimensions of destiny.

About ‘Kismat Telugu Movie:

“Kismat,” translating to destiny, unravels as a story of three best friends from Mancherial – Karthik, Abhi, and Kiran. Armed with dreams and aspirations, their journey takes a twist when they venture into a new city, only to find themselves entangled in a web of unexpected challenges. The film explores the nuances of luck, choices, and the consequences of veering off the path of righteousness. As the plot unfolds, audiences are treated to a concoction of humor, suspense, and the unpredictable, making “Kismat” a promising addition to the Telugu comedy-drama genre.

The narrative thread of “Kismat” weaves through the lives of three friends who, armed with dreams, set out to change their destiny. Their journey takes an unexpected turn when they find themselves inadvertently involved in a situation demanding a substantial sum of money. As they navigate the challenges posed by their choices, the film unfolds the complexities of friendships, aspirations, and the consequences of a wrong turn in life. “Kismat” beckons viewers to join this trio on a roller-coaster of emotions, where each twist in the tale holds the promise of a unique and entertaining revelation.

The plot of “Kismat” centers around the trio’s pursuit of change in destiny. Completing their B. Tech but facing the harsh reality of unemployment, they embark on a journey to Hyderabad in search of opportunities. However, a seemingly innocent decision leads them into the clutches of an unforeseen predicament. The film beautifully navigates through the challenges, struggles, and moral dilemmas faced by Karthik, Abhi, and Kiran as they grapple with the consequences of their choices. The narrative promises a roller-coaster of humor, suspense, and unexpected turns, encapsulating the essence of a true crime comedy.

Performances:

While the storyline provides the foundation, the performances breathe life into “Kismat.” Naresh Agastya’s portrayal of Karthik, the charming flirt, adds a touch of charisma to the narrative. Abhinav Gomatam, known for his comedic timing, delivers a standout performance, injecting humor and vitality into the film. The chemistry between the lead trio, including Srinivas Avasarala and Vishwa Dev, creates a dynamic synergy that propels the narrative forward. Riya Suman, as the female lead Tanya, adds a layer of intrigue and emotion to the storyline. Ajay Ghosh, Temper Vamshi, Chammak Chandra, and Racha Ravi contribute their share, rounding up a cast that strives to elevate the film with their acting prowess.

Technical Aspects:

“Kismat” stands on the shoulders of its technical elements, each contributing to the overall cinematic experience. Vedaraman Shankaran’s cinematography captures the essence of the narrative, providing a visual feast for the audience. The editing prowess of Viplav Nyshadam ensures a seamless flow, maintaining the film’s pace. The music by Mark K Robin becomes the heartbeat of “Kismat,” enhancing the emotional and comedic tones. Ravi’s production design adds to the immersive quality of the film, creating a world where destiny and dreams collide.

Plus Points:

While “Kismat” may have its share of criticisms, it shines in specific aspects. The comedy scenes and humorous dialogues, particularly delivered by Abhinav Gomatam and Avasarala Srinivas, emerge as the film’s strengths. The star-studded cast, including Naresh Agastya, Vishwadev Rachakonda, Riya Suman, and Ajay Ghosh, invest their best efforts, attempting to salvage the film with their acting prowess.

Minus Points:

However, the film does not escape its fair share of drawbacks. Despite the potential for a compelling crime comedy, “Kismat” falls short in execution. The narrative lacks sustained interest, with a meandering first half and a less-than-engaging second half. The introduction of Avasarala Srinivas’s character raises anticipation, but the impact is short-lived. The film fails to capitalize on the promising setup and twists, resulting in a perceived lack of substance.

Movie Analysis:

The first half of “Kismat” grapples with a sluggish start, taking its time to reach the crux of the story. The introduction of lead characters, coupled with a love track and political entanglements, covers the initial narrative landscape. However, the impact appears diluted. The second half continues the aimless meandering until the climax, failing to provide the anticipated engagement. While the film possesses the potential for a gripping crime comedy, the execution falters. Even a mid-point twist fails to sustain interest, contributing to a narrative that lacks the necessary punch and fails to leave a lasting impression.

In the realm of Telugu cinema, “Kismat” emerges as a mixed bag. While it boasts a promising ensemble cast, a few comedic gems, and a plot with potential, it falls short in execution. The film’s goal to be a crime comedy feels somewhat misplaced, resulting in a perceived lack of purpose. Despite the efforts of a talented cast and crew, “Kismat” struggles to find its footing as a captivating cinematic experience. For those seeking a dose of comedy and light-hearted entertainment, it may serve its purpose. However, for those anticipating a crime comedy that transcends the ordinary, “Kismat” might leave them yearning for a more impactful twist of fate.
