New Delhi, Oct. 1 -- We fell in awe of Kantara, the story of the people living in Karnataka's forests and the Forest Officer sent there to enforce laws. The clash between old-world rules made by the gods of the forest, who protect the simple folk from the outside law, was a spectacle that gave you a sleepless night or two. The new film rides on an earned fame and will woo you with abigger, brighter, louder telling of the Kantara tale. But sometimes, we need to let well enough alone.

While you are advised to carry earplugs to reduce the noise of the invoking of Kantara by the villagers, the sound of the drums and the slashing and killing, it's a great idea to revisit movies that lure you into the forest to uncover secrets behind folklore....
