Kantara - Magnus opus of Kannada industy Om Namah shivaya
I studied in the RSS/VHP school till 10th grade, even though it was a state syllabus but the way school operated was really amazing. The kind of education I had was too good.
We were never taught to discourage other religion and we had many muslims and other religion as my class mates. I dont know it was different times or whatever but we were never taught to hate any religion.
But coming back to the school process, yes our prayers were from Bhagavadgita, we had every session with prayers, morning prayers, once you enter class it was 12th chapter of bhagavadgita and ekatmata stotra and during lunch it was annapurne sada purne and evening again vande mataram or nattional anthem
i didnt realise for long why was my concentration power so good which i struggled in Engineering was those shlokas and mantras. I topped in whole of my city back in 10th ofcourse it was with the effort of getting up every day at 4 am. Not even a single day i missed it. I also feel it was my shiva and raghavendra swamy's blessing. Family was very happy. One of the events in my life I am going to cherish that forever. I am popular in my town for this and my dad's fame.
Anyways, Kantara was a divine experience, i have always loved Rishab's movies but this movie was exceptional. When we were kids my dad always used to take us to Dr. Rajkumar movies. After that if I really started watching movies in theatre was for Rishab. I also have telugu influence in my family due to few of my close relatives spread across andhra due to which I had watched most of the telugu movies but I am a proud kannadati, I am so glad that I started watching kannada movies now in theatres.
Even though am not a great movie buff but this movie was very different. I will not say much about the movie as lot of people have said so much about the movie. i came back from berlin last october the first thing i did was to watch this movie in theatres and again I went to theatre to watch it on 52nd day the theatre in PVR koramangala was packed! thats the impact this movie has created.
