My frank review#KantaraChapter1 Last 45mins to 1hr is another level. You must watch the movie for it. There are Goosebumps moments.
For the first 1:30 mins to 1:45mins I felt like watching previous Kantara film, only, time period is different.
Indian filmmakers should stop… pic.twitter.com/2q9BWx6Y1M

#KantaraChapter1 A missing soul & lack of novelty factor could be flaws, but the prequel will be talked about for its visual feats. #RishabShetty gives you “that-one-scene-you-can’t-stop-talking about” in plenty. The sheer commitment to scale is impeccablehttps://t.co/TJEhgqHV7d pic.twitter.com/qcVyiQPaAZ
