Plot

1970s: Kaatera is a blacksmith in Bheemanahalli living with his sister Kumari, brother-in-law Mahadevanna and family. Kaatera has to tackle multiple challenges to implement Land Reforms Act in order for the farmers to escape from the feudal landlords Devaraya and Kaalegowda as they are torturing the farmers to gain tax.

Prabhavathi, the daughter of Shanubogha, has been in love with Kaatera since childhood. Despite reluctance due to caste discrimination, Kaatera accepts her love and Prabhavathi leaves with Kaatera against her parents' wishes. Just before the marriage, Kaatera learns that Devaraya has sent 108 skilled combatants to destroy him and his village. Kaatera kills the combatants and returns home only to find Prabhavathi killed. An enraged Kaatera kills Devaraya for Prabhavathi's death and is imprisoned.

1989: The forensic team finds the skeletons and Reena D'Souza, the forensic officer, tells the police to begin the investigation. Reena learns from a police officer, who was among the combatants, about Kaatera's past and closes the case as natural death due to Kaatera's good nature.

Meanwhile, Mahadevanna and the villagers manage to get Kaatera released on parole. Kaatera attends the festival and meets Prabhavathi's brother Paddu. Kaatera reveals Paddu's involvement in Prabhavathi's death. Paddu reveals that he killed Prabhavathi as he was enraged about her marriage to Kaatera. Kaatera kills Paddu, thus avenging Prabhavathi's death. Kaatera urges the villagers to respect each other and eradicate caste discrimination. Kaatera pays respect to Prabhavathi and returns to prison, hoping that the villagers will change.

Reception

Critical reception

A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express gave 4/5 stars and wrote "Kaatera steers away from conventional mass formulas, and full credit should go to director Tharun Kishore Sudhir and his co-writer Jadeshaa K Hampi."[29] Y. Maheswara Reddy of Bangalore Mirror gave 4/5 stars and wrote "It is worth a watch by all and a must for Darshan's fans."[30]

S. Sridevi of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "The movie drives home an important message while being a perfect star vehicle for Darshan. Now is a good time to say, 'Welcome back, Darshan – the performer.'"[31] Swaroop Kadur of OTTplay gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "'Kaatera' could have definitely benefitted from a more taut screenplay and shorter runtime, but the film is certainly worth a watch. The film doesn't mindlessly rely upon its lead actor's star status and instead attempts to drive home a message in engaging, mostly entertaining ways."[32]

Vivek M. V. of The Hindu wrote "Despite celebrating Darshan's 'mass' appeal, 'Kaatera' doesn't lose sight of its subject, as it balances its message nearly with good dose of entertainment."[33]

Box office

From Day 1, there have been contrasting reports with respect to box office collections officially announced by the makers and the amount estimated by the industry trackers. While Vijaya Karnataka reported that the first day collections officially announced by the makers was ₹19.79 crores,[34] Hindustan Times cautioned that the actual figure might be only ₹9 crores as per trade.[35] Vijayavani reported the gross first day collection to be ₹14.79 crores which was ₹5 crore equidistant from both the trade figures and official figures.[36] OTT Play and Times of India reported the first day net collections to be ₹11 crores.[37][38]

Similar to Day 1, there were varying reports with respect to Day 2 collections – while the makers announced that the two day gross was ₹37.14 crores,[39] Deccan Chronicle pegged it at only ₹18.85 crores[40] and Jagran estimated an even lower figure of ₹17.75 crores.[41] The trade estimated the first weekend gross to be only ₹27.60 crore[42] to ₹35 crore [43] as against ₹58.08 crore declared by the makers.[44] Similarly, at the end of first Monday, the makers declared a gross of ₹76.34 crores[45] as against trade figure of ₹36.89 crores.[46] Continuing with the tradition, the difference between producer figure and trade figure continued to be more than 50% even after 5 day of release – with the trade estimating the gross collection to be around ₹ 41.40 crores [47] to ₹44 crores[48] as against the producer figure of ₹86.84 crores.[49] The total gross at the end of Day 6 was reported to be ₹95.36 crores.[50] The total first week gross collections were reported to be ₹104.58 crores by the makers[51] as against the trade estimate of only ₹45.50 crores[52] – further widening the gap between the two figures by a staggering 130%.

The trade estimated the net collections to be ₹55.58 crores [53] - which resulted in a whopping ₹49 crores difference between the gross figures declared and the net figures estimated. The net collections at the end of two weeks was reported to be around ₹59.90 crores[54] to ₹65.57 crores.[55] While the makers announced that the movie had become the highest grosser in the state with ₹190.89 crores collected in 19 days,[56] Hindustan Times noted the huge difference between the figures declared by the makers and the amount estimated by the trackers.[57] The makers announced the gross collections to be ₹206 crores at the end of 20 days[58] but the tracked collections was reported to be only ₹100 crores after 22 days of its release.[59] OTT Play speculated that the collections could have been inflated since the weekly collections and footfalls couldn't match up.[5] A report in January 2024 called the movie the highest grosser of the year with a total collections of ₹216 crores.[60] The trade estimated the final gross to be around ₹65 crores.[5] However, reports emerged later that though the movie was the highest grosser of the year, the collections were only ₹67 crores.[61]
