The success of the Kantara prequel signals India’s cultural reawakening. Let’s look at three dimensions—the traditional, the sensational, and the spiritual.

The Traditional:

Themes and tales from our tradition are being depicted unapologetically in Indian cinema. Movies have long celebrated the mystical—ghosts, vampires, superheroes—but most of these tropes came from the West. Now, images, ideas, and ideals from our own past are being spotlighted.

The Sensational:

When the traditional is presented through depiction and action that is sensational, it captivates and keeps us watching. The Bhagavad Gita (6.17) recommends recreation in regulation—for refreshing the mind.

The Spiritual:

Beyond preserving and captivating, it is the spiritual that transforms. Each of us holds the potential to form a personal relationship with a personable divinity. Providing pathways to realize this potential is Indian spirituality’s most valuable legacy.

The traditional gives roots,

the sensational gives wings,

and the spiritual gives direction.

May this reawakening lift us beyond entertainment—toward enlightenment.
