Kaantha Review by Censor Board
When it comes to the story of the film Kantha, the case was registered in the wake of news that it was based on the life of MK Thyagaraja Bhagavathar. However, this story is not related to anyone's life. It is just a fictional story. Rana Daggubati revealed that the release of the film will not be stopped due to the case. However, when it comes to the story, judging by the trailer of this movie, it is clear that it is an incident that took place between a hero, a director, a producer and a heroine.
Amidst such controversies and speculations, the censor board officials reviewed the film Kantha. The film is technically brilliant. Dulquer Salmaan, Samuthirakani, Bhagyashree Bhorse, and Rana competed in acting. The BGM is a plus point for this film, and the cinematography has made this film even richer. The film unit said that the censor representatives expressed the opinion that along with the commercial values, the powerful performance is also an additional attraction for this film.
Kantha is a period movie with a typical cinematic backdrop. It was revealed after the censor review that it offers a different experience with a strong story, fast-paced narrative, and modern technology. However, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) officials have issued a UA 13+ (UA13+) certificate to this movie. This means that everyone above the age of 13 can watch this movie. Those below that age should watch it under the guidance of their parents, the certificate revealed.
The film unit says that the length of this film, which is said to be intense with emotions and performances, has been cut perfectly keeping in mind all the categories. It is known that the length of this film is 2.45 hours, i.e. 165 minutes. Follow FilmyBeat for more features, details and exclusive review about this film.
