Rishab Shetty’s Kantara has broken many records this year becoming one of the biggest box office hits and has surpassed KGF 2 in terms of collections. Recently, there were comparisons to the 2018 film Tumbbad in the manner in which the films were shot and their craftsmanship.
However, the creative director of the Sohum Shah-starrer, Anand Gandhi, has come up with his own criticism towards Kantara. Anand took to Twitter to express his views on the film by saying that his idea behind ‘Tumbbad’ was to use the elements of horror as metaphors for toxic masculinity and narrowness. Meanwhile, Kantara actively celebrates these. Tumbbad was a very well-made criticism of human greed but it was a disaster at the box office.
"Kantara is nothing like Tumbbad. My idea behind Tumbbad was to use the horror as an allegory of toxic masculinity and parochialism. Kantara is a celebration of these." Meanwhile, Kantara has unexpectedly surpassed records made by many big budget movies.
Helmed by Rishab Shetty, Kantara was released on September 30 and got a massive response from the audience for its storyline and amazing visuals. Produced by Hombale Films, Kantara stars Rishab Shetty, Pramod Shetty, Achyuth Kumar, Sapthami Gowda and south actor Kishore in the lead roles.
