Kangana Ranaut praises the film

Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut recently responded to a social media post that compared the Dev culture of the Himalayas to the traditions shown in Rishab Shetty’s film. The user had shared a heartfelt post saying, “What Kantara has shown is reality.

Until I saw this movie, I wasn’t aware of South India, but believe me, everyone born in the Himalayas has felt and seen things beyond imagination. The Dev culture here is truly divine, and this movie beautifully shows the vastness of Hinduism and the deep connection people have with their local deities.

Kudos to you @shetty_rishab sir for bringing such a marvellous project.”The post caught Kangana’s attention, and she was quick to respond with admiration for the film. She wrote, “Very nice, such films can be crucial for stopping tribal conversion also.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers in this article are compiled from our proprietary sources and diverse public data.
