Kantara movie Controversy
Dalit organisations have condemned the portrayal of Dalits in super hit pan-India Kannada movie “Kantara”. Samatha Sainik Dal State Secretary Lolaksha has stated that the film has insulted Dalits. “The Dalit community has been shown in poor light,” he said, claiming that the “Daivaradhane” sequences in the movie are twisted.
He had also raised objections to the highlight of the movie, the last 20 minute climax. Lolaksha had stated that they will bring their objections to the notice of the film team first. If their objections are not taken seriously, they will initiate legal proceedings against the film team. The film was, however, mired in controversies as a band claimed one of the songs used in the movie as theirs and Kannada actor Chetan Ahimsa stated that “Daivaradhane” is not part of Hindu religion as shown in the movie.
Rajinikanth gifts golden memorabilia to Rishab Shetty
Superstar Rajinikanth gifted actor-filmmaker Rishab Shetty a gold chain and locket over the success of his latest release ‘Kantara’. Rajinikanth had recently called Rishab Shetty for a personal meet at his Chennai residence where he bestowed him with a gold chain and a gold locket for the super success of his film Kantara. Rajinikanth was also seen praising the film while calling it a film that happens once in 50 years. This has again added an extra feather to the rising glory of ‘Kantara‘.
Kantara movie story
Kantara is a vast, mysterious forest, In Kantara, the forest plays a significant role. People in the town live as children of the forest, blending with it on one side. However, the Forest Officer has decided to protect the forest diligently. This is so that not a single piece of wood will be removed from it and no one will encroach upon it. Also included are the misdeeds of Devendra (Achyut), a lusty politician.
Shiva (Rishabh) always fights for the village, and Muralidhar (Kishore), who says that the law applies to everyone, is not one to stand up to anyone. A key theme of Kantara is the encroachment of forest land, looting of forest wealth, and conflict between forest officials and villagers.
