Despite heartfelt moments and strong performances by Raghubir Yadav and Soni Razdan, the weak conflict and flat pacing make it forgettable.

Sumo Didi

Sumo Didi

2026 · India Today

Despite its inspiring subject and competently handled sporting sequences, the film fails to leave a lasting impact. The film understands the significance of that battle, but its predictable screenplay, underdeveloped relationships and uneven music prevent it from delivering the emotional force its subject deserves.

Kantara - A Legend: Chapter 1

Kantara - A Legend: Chapter 1

2025 · Mid-Day

Kantara Chapter 1, directed by Rishab Shetty, is a visually stunning and emotionally powerful prequel that blends folklore, drama, and social commentary. With grand visuals and heartfelt conviction, it mesmerises and leaves a lasting impact. There's just one word needed to describe Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 — transcendental.
