STRANGE! Just 4 weeks in cinemas & Rishab Shetty’s 'Kantara Chapter 1' releases on OTT
Rishab Shetty’s ‘Kantara Chapter 1’

Kantara Chapter 1 is this year’s most brilliant cinematic experience, so why is it that it is coming on OTT so early despite a good box-office record? The question is why are movies made for theatrical experience unable to sustain in theatres? Are people actually falling out of the habit of watching movies in theatres?

Despite all the success, Rishab Shetty’s ‘Kantara Chapter 1 is hitting the digital platform in less than a month. And not just cinematic experience, after a long time, you will see a film where the heroine is not just an ornament and the love interest of the hero. Rather Rukmini Vasanth plays a powerful role and it is she who has a dual character.

About _Kantara Chapter 1_

The film starts with Kulasekhara (Gulshan Devaiah) becoming the new king who neither has the physical strength or the physical capability to run a kingdom. The only thing that he has inherited is cruelty with loads of arrogance. Since, from an early age everything was served on a platter for him, he has developed no skills too. He is perpetually drunk the whole day and listens to music, but his attitude and male ego is at the tip of his nose. And that becomes the cause of his downfall.

On the other hand, Berme (Rishab Shetty) is the head of the Kantara tribe. He is grounded, powerful and hard working. He along with his people enters Bangra and from there the real story begins_. Kantara Chapter 1_ shows the clash between Bangra and the people from the kingdom. The king and his family are shown to be racist and classists who have taken away everything from the tribes that Berme belongs to. They treat them like animals. There is an imaginary wall between the two created by the king and his people.
