Shiva’s fight for ‘dharma’ which translates as ‘being just, right, true’ in its widest sense is the constant in the film. Shiva the protaganist played by Rishabh Shetty who is also the director of the film, plays the character of a rural macho youth who works at the house of a landlord also running his buffalo bulls for Kambala. It is also a nuanced expression of the internal battle between being a bearer of tradition versus avoiding it for the fear of what it may bring, owing to a past experience one associates with it. The film then traces the journey of tradition versus human weaknesses especially greed, tradition versus laws which may be right in intent but are often detrimental to existing ways of social life and living. The central theme and the backstory, with which the film begins, is of the legend of how a ‘daiva’, the deity worshipped in the tradition of spirit worship or bhootaradhane that is indigenous to coastal Karnataka, appeared as an answer to a king’s life quest and in return sought the stretch of forest as land grant for its inhabitants. ‘Once upon a time’…like most of our folktales begin…so does the film.
More importantly, it unapologetically and aesthetically portrays tradition as truth and not, as is popularly and conveniently done often, as a ‘myth’.Īctor, director Rishab Shetty’s Kantara is a tale set in his homeland coastal Karnataka that looks at how greed eventually does take everything down and truth finds its glorious pedestal, irrespective of how powerful be the forces against it. dont need some label bankrolling sh*t!"įrontman Chris Preese had this to say about their debut single, "'Fold' explores the idea of a temporal paradox in time travel and how we can't change the past without becoming untethered from the future".Kannada films are reclaiming their place among world class cinema and the latest to join the wagon of film-making that is a visual delight, a cultural treatise and an engrossing tale of folk thought meets contemporary truth is Kantara.Ī gripping tale of the battle for ‘dharma’ and how it chooses its warriors no matter how hard they try to defy destiny’s attempts at reminding them of their role in the scheme of things. hoping to keep this completely independent this time around now that we're all adults with jobs that can fund the stuff we want to do. that's insane to be that young making those kinds of decisions on contracts like that.
