As Navratri begins, we take a nostalgic look back at last year's celebration, during which a fan of 'Kantara' went above and beyond, creating an entire Durga Puja pandal inspired by the film. The impact of 'Kantara' was so profound that it inspired a unique Durga Puja theme. This Durga Puja pandal was set up last year in the Jorasanko area of Kolkata.

The film features the Bhoota Kola art form, a unique method of spirit worship in India. It is a ritualistic art form originating in the Tulunadu region, which extends from the Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts of Karnataka to the northern parts of the Kasaragod district in Kerala. The film received critical acclaim and performed well at the box office, transcending language barriers.
