Kantara Chapter 1 has won hearts for exploring the tale of Guliga and its cultural roots instead of relying on franchise appeal. Audiences praised its storytelling, visuals, and the cinematic experience it delivered on the big screen.
While fans celebrated the film, some social media accounts began spreading religious hate in its name. A viral video showed three people, apparently Muslim by attire, leaving a theatre during the screening of Kantara.
Certain accounts twisted this simple moment, claiming that the “divine energy” in the film forced Muslims to leave. What was an ordinary act became a tool to push an Islamophobic narrative online.
Fans quickly responded, exposing the false claim. They said the people might have left because of a personal emergency. Others who watched the film pointed out that the video was taken during the final scene, meaning they could have exited early to avoid crowds.
Viewers demanded that these hateful posts be removed and that the individuals behind them apologise. Many noted that those shown in the video had paid for their tickets, watched the film respectfully, and left like anyone else. Turning that into a hate-filled message was unacceptable.
Such incidents show how social media often fuels religious division for attention. When ordinary people are wrongly targeted, it damages our social unity. Hate-driven accounts must be identified and held accountable before they cause deeper harm.
As viewers, you must think critically before believing such content. Don’t let hate-filled narratives distort your judgment. Choose empathy over division and truth over sensationalism.
I also ran out of Idli Kadai before the final shot not because I can’t handle the divine idli energy…..
because i parked my vehicle near the gate exit and I have to make way for others first.
