Rishab Shetty’s Kantara has become the highest-rated film on IMDb by surpassing Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2. The film has been receiving rave reviews from the critics and audiences alike.
Last week, Kannada superstar Kiccha Sudeep penned a long appreciation post for Kantara team and Rishabh Shetty and thanked them for believing in a subject like this. Kiccha also gave a shout-out to Rishabh for his “fantabulous performance” in the movie. He also praised music director Ajaneesh B Loknath for his commendable score in the film.
Kantara is witnessing a dream run at the box office despite clashing with Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: 1, Nagarjuna’s The Ghost and Chiranjeevi’s Godfather on the big screen. With an average start on its opening day, the Kannada film picked up momentum from its second day after getting positive reviews from audiences and film critics alike. The action thriller, which was reportedly produced on a budget of Rs 16 crores, managed to gross over Rs 50 crores within seven days of its release.
