A user wrote, “#Kantara, a masterpiece being judged by a forum that represents a culture that is diametrically opposite to the one that the film portrays is not quite fair IMHO. Oscar or No Oscar should not really matter to us. The film is beyond comparison!”, while another one commented, “Congratulations. Kantara has connected with people on an emotional level and sparked conversations about their own gram daiva. I’ve heard so many fascinating accounts of people’s reactions and how they connect to their roots. Well deserved and rooting for it.”
Despite being a late entry, Kantara is again trending on social media and this indeed comes as a proud moment for the entire industry and movie lovers.
