Theory 1: Berme Becomes the God, Bermer

The Transformation of Berme

In Kantara: Chapter 1, Rishab Shetty plays the main character, Berme. Berme is a tribal leader. He is also found as a baby in a sacred well. Fans know that the name Berme is very important.

• In Tulu folklore, Bermer is a major Daiva. He is seen as the original guardian and creator of the land, Tulunadu.
• The movie shows Berme diving into the well after the big fight. This well is the same place where he was found as an infant.
• This diving act is a symbolic death and rebirth. Fans think Berme merges with the divine energy in the well. This merging makes him the supreme Daiva, Bermer.
• This theory says that Berme will stop being a human. He will become the eternal protector of the forest and its people. This sets up the whole Daiva tradition for the future.

Theory 2: Kanakavathi’s Return as a New Threat

The Evil Princess is Still Alive

The princess Kanakavathi (played by Rukmini Vasanth) is the real villain. She is the one who wanted to trap the Daivas. She used dark rituals for her evil plan.

• At the climax, Berme, who is possessed by Guliga Daiva, is about to strike Kanakavathi’s father. Kanakavathi stops him. She mocks Guliga Daiva, saying he cannot hit a woman.
• The Daiva replies that he will not touch her, but his sister, Chamundi (or Chavundi), will.
• This line is a big hint. It suggests that Kanakavathi is not fully defeated. She might escape the Daiva’s wrath.
• The next film, Kantara: Chapter 2, might show her returning as a new evil force. She might even be possessed by a demon, creating a big problem for the tribe.

Theory 3: The Mystery of the Vanished Well

The Story of the Sacred Spring

The film’s ending has a small scene. An old man is telling the story of Berme to a small child. The child asks what happened to the well where Berme jumped.

• The old man smiles. He says, “That is another tale.” This dialogue is important.
• Fans believe this vanished well is the key to the next part of the story.
• Perhaps the well is a portal or a gate to another world. The well might have taken Berme to a different time or realm.
• The next film could explore the reason for the well’s vanishing. It might explain Berme’s journey in the spiritual world before he fully becomes a Daiva.

Theory 4: Connecting the Dots to the Original Kantara

The King’s Promise and the Stone

Kantara: Chapter 1 is set in the 4th century during the Kadamba dynasty. The original Kantara is set in 1990.

• The first movie had a King’s promise about the land. Fans think that Kantara: Chapter 2 will show how that promise came to be.
• The new film might bridge the gap of hundreds of years. It could show the first time a Daiva possessed a person to make the promise with the king.
• Also, the sacred stone is very important in the new movie. It is said to have the power of the Daivas. The new film might explain the stone’s journey. It could show how it gets placed in the forest, where it is found in the first Kantara film.

Theory 5: Guliga Daiva’s Journey with Berme

The Union of Man and Spirit

In the original Kantara, Shiva is possessed by Panjurli and Guliga Daiva. In the prequel, Berme is possessed by Guliga Daiva.

• Guliga is known as the fierce and powerful protector. He is the loyal aide of Panjurli.
• Fans think that when Berme becomes Bermer, he will keep the spirit of Guliga with him.
• This theory suggests that the next film will show the birth of the Guliga Daiva tradition. It will show how the spirit becomes the primary protector of the Kantara forest for future generations. Berme and Guliga’s union will be central to the next chapter.

Fans are very excited for Kantara: Chapter 2. We have to wait and see what Rishab Shetty has planned for the audience. The mythological world of Kantara is still a big mystery!
