Salaam Rocky Bhai!
I didn’t like KGF Chapter-1 the first time I saw it. I couldn’t even get to the mines section of the film. To me, the film felt like an overlong music video. Every few minutes things got an extreme level of build up and then after a hero walk / reveal, we have another build-up. I was seeing the Kannada Version as I prefer seeing movies in their original language with subtitles.
This was back in 2018.
Recently, I saw the trailer of KGF Chapter 2 and the trailer was intriguing enough that, even though I hated the first part, I decided to give it another go. I swallowed humble pie and tried the Hindi version.
Now that I didn’t have to read the subtitles while keep track of the breakneck speed of the edit and the random 1000 cuts every minute, I could enjoy the film a lot more. What killed it for me the first time was having to read the subtitles while keeping an eye on the proceedings at the same time. After the second half, I started to like the film and by the end I wanted to see Part 2 immediately.
So, I booked my ticket the very next day. I had managed to skip the agonising wait most KGF fans had for almost 4 years for Part 2 to come out.
In my local theatre, the show was house full. Not a single seat was empty. The cheers started with Rocky’s entry and continue during every hero walk, action, punch or good dialogue.
KGF Chapter 2 is not just a mass movie, it’s a massive movie. It like a mustang which keep accelerating, it never slows down, is not subtle, the background music is ear shattering and the audience screaming on top of that is absolutely insane.
So, getting past all of that, KGF 2 has a simple story, its Scarface done south Indian style. Its Dewaar / Kalla Patthar on steroids. This is not a movie where we wait for quite subtle moments, or character drama, its all larger than life. The acting is hyper, the action is loud, though not as well choreographed as RRR or Baahubali. The scope of the film is immense.
I hear this films budget is 120-140cr. Every Rupee is visible on screen. The cinematography is top notch. The color pallet is dark, ashen and broody. The look of this film is dark, gritty and perfectly suits its narration.
I have not seen any other film of Yash. I had not even heard of him till KGF-1 had come out. I suspect neither had most other Hindi speaking, northern India film viewer. But with KGF-2 Yash has managed easily what the Khans, Kumars and Kapoors of Bollywood have not managed. To give a perfect anti-Hero who connects with the audience. Here is a total unknown till 4 years ago, whose movie is going to make more than the top Bollywood actors have managed in 2019-22. (Speaking about opening weekend here).
I enjoyed this film immensely. The action is implausible, the characters manage to walk through fire unscathed, get shot and be A-Ok 2 days later, but this is not the film to worry about such things. It’s a mad ride and it’s there for enjoyment. The hero Rocky literally takes on the Indian government, that’s totally taking things to another level.
The only two things I didn’t like was the choppy black screen induced edit of the car chase scene. It looks like a poor copy of Mad Max Fury Road and as if the editor didn’t have all the VFX shots ready, so he inserted random black screens in tune with the music to make it look impactful. Another thing I didn’t like was the romantic track, it didn’t serve any purpose and takes away from the mad cap antics of the lead Rocky.
Rating : 7.5/10 as a movie. In theatres, among loud blasting BGM, screaming fans, this feels like a 9/10.
I would rate KGF-1 a solid 7/10. I have only seen it in OTT.
P.S: After the movie ended, the roof nearly came out with whistles, hoots and cheers. Plus, there is a post credit scene. Which also nearly brought the house down again.
