#KantaraChapter1 Review:
— Fighter of Justice (@4JusticeFight) October 2, 2025
First half slow and builds the characters and the world.
Second half onwards Twist after twist and story peaks.
It is important you understand story in 1st half, because 2nd half twists are based on story build up in 1st half.
(1/n)
Excellent🌟cinematography at peaks, action sequence lu kuda super

If they say, Visual effects is good/top notch.
Forget about the story n screenplay, one thing everyone agrees on – terrible VFX. https://t.co/kkcoql2LXB

She’s so effortlessly nonchalant, and the close-up shots on IMAX were absolutely magical! I just didn’t want them to end. She shines even more in the second half (without giving anything away), carrying a solid character perfectly.#KantaraChapter1

#KantaraChapter1 is a veritable mélange, lighthearted banter and romance in the first half, only to metamorphose into a crescendo of exhilarating intensity in the climax. A spectacle eminently deserving of the big screen!

#KantaraChapter1 takes the story to new heights, with a solid first half and an extraordinary second half. Every sequence, from interval to climax, keeps you on the edge of your seat.#RishabShetty delivers a stellar performance and masterful direction. The visuals are stunning,…

Kantara first part is miles ahead of #KantaraChapter1 in terms of film making. With better financial backing this time, you'd expect a better product, but Rishab fails to deliver, I feel.

#KantaraChapter1 surpasses the first part in every way! The movie delivers a solid first half and an absolutely electrifying second half, filled with goosebump-inducing moments. The interval, post interval, and climax episodes are simply top-notch.
