Top 6 Movies to Watch: Eager audience members have absorbed in their mouths the melancholic portions of mythology, lurking in suspense and ambivalent dark atmospheres created so well by the phenomenal success that was Kantara. So, here are six overbearing films with folklore, and suspense, generating a very dark feeling quite haunting around the waiting period of Kantara Chapter 2.
The epitome of Indian fantasy horror, Tumbbad tells the story of a man whose greed turns him into a treasure hound, pursuing a cursed wealth hidden in some rain soaked village. This is a watch that will haunt with visuals and will pitch in mythology, and indeed it should be a must-see for a fan of Kantara.
Thora Aishwarya Lekshmi stars as Kumari, a woman who enters an estate steeped in darkness and rituals-dominated secrets governing her fate. This film, rooted in folklore, is an ideal blend of myth with something very gothic, hence making it a complementary view along with Kantara.
Lapachhapi is chilling and sparks thoughts, completely unique in its form of supernatural horror and emotive storytelling. This Marathi thriller follows the travails of a pregnant woman who lives in a desolate village haunted by sinister forces.
This Malayalam thriller, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, narrates the whole story that takes place in forest cabins, where revenge and beliefs intercede with morality. The entire tense narrative, with its atmospheric backdrop of events, resonates with the spiritual discomfort of Kantara.
Though this Malayalam romantic tragedy unfolding against political violence isn’t technically supernatural, it certainly possesses a hauntingly fateful atmosphere of tragedy. Intensely intense-as is Kantara-it evokes the same rawly emotive pull.

Dhanush shines in this gritty narrative about caste conflicts, revenge, and survival. Although it’s devoid of folklore and is set in rural India, it also echoes the land and identity of Kantara through the human conflict it presents.
Whether from haunting deities of Tumbbad to folkloric mysteries of Kumari, all dive deep into that part of India’s dark storytelling culture. Each of them presents itself very interestingly until Kantara Chapter 2 comes to take the mantle ahead.
