India, Oct. 2 -- Kantara Chapter 1, the prequel to the hit 2022 film Kantara released in theatres on October 2 amid little to no competition. Rishab Shetty's film came along with the Hindi multi-starrer Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari and Dhanush's directorial Tamil film Idli Kadai. Sunny Sanskari and Idli Kadai both received mixed reviews, which Kantara Chapter 1 has too, but what Rishab's film has going for it is the 'divine' angle, with a chunk of the audience still in awe of the daivas and the protection they offer in the fight against evil oppressors. Right now, Kantara Chapter 1 is, undoubtedly, the stronger film, despite its flaws.
