Kantara is also doing wonders at the box office even in Hindi language. In 6 days, the film has earned more than Rs 13 cr in Hindi. The film also made it to the number 1 position in the list of India’s Current Top 250 Films released by IMDb recently.  

The film is a visual extravaganza that highlights Kambala's traditional culture and the Bhoota Kola art form. It is set in the fictional village of Dakshina Kannada. The story revolves around the human and nature conflict, which is deeply rooted in the coastal culture and folklore of Karnataka. It is a perfect culmination of craft, culture and technical brilliance at display and is worthy of every piece of accolade and appreciation it is receiving online.
