Films are a widely consumed form of media that hold significant influence in shaping societal ideologies and reflecting its realities. The text emphasizes the social responsibilities of cinema and its role as a medium of social communication. Due to its extensive reach, it is crucial for films to shed light on the struggles faced by marginalized groups who are often silenced by those in power. This study delves into the representation of subalterns in the Kannada film Kantara, directed by Rishabh Shetty, in an effort to highlight the ongoing issues faced by these groups in our society. The film serves as a platform to showcase the challenges faced by subalterns and the need for their voices to be heard. In postcolonial literature, the term "subaltern" is widely used to describe the marginalized and silenced native peoples who were subjected to ruthless measures by colonial powers and imperialism. This concept highlights the power dynamics at play during the colonial era and the ways in which the dominant groups sought to maintain their control over the subjugated populations. It highlights the importance of viewing films not only for entertainment but also as a reflection of society. The given film, "Kantara," depicts the lives of marginalized individuals and explores the subaltern perspective, shedding light on issues of power, oppression, and societal marginalization. The study aims to critically analyze the portrayal of these individuals and the effectiveness of dominant power in perpetuating control.
