The film is rooted in the beliefs of coastal Karnataka and merges the local belief system with stories of land politics and man vs nature. The film has been critically acclaimed and commercially successful.

The film originally released in Kannada with dubbed versions in Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil releasing two weeks later. Upon its release, ’Kantara’ was declared a massive box office success, grossing over Rs 400 crore worldwide. Buzz is strong that the makers are planning for a second installment for the film, however, there is no official confirmation on the same so far.

The film was released on Prime Video and Netflix (Hindi version) earlier this month.
