Over-hyped and underwhelming?

Even with its larger-than-life visuals, some X users criticised the film for its lack of depth.

#Kantara full movie boring waste time just climax hit @shetty_rishab acting average and rukmini vasanth acting super.

Another user wrote, “No story, No songs, No thrill, No strong villain, Peak over-acting, Too many useless characters. High hyped with poor content. My review – 0/5. Don’t watch in theater.” Overall, while some viewers acknowledged the technical side of the film, the plot didn’t resonate with everyone.

This indicates that, despite mixed opinions, the film is sparking strong emotional reactions across the sides.
