K.G.F – Chapter 2 Review {4.5/5} & Review Rating
K.G.F – Chapter 2 Movie Review: The story of a man who faces new problems after successfully taking over an empire is told in KGF – CHAPTER 2 [Hindi]. In the Kolar Gold Fields, nicknamed KGF, Rocky murders Garuda (Ramachandra Raju) and assumes command, much to the chagrin of Guru Pandian (Achyuth Kumar), Andrews (B S Avinash), and Rajendra Desai (Lakki Lakshman). They had planned to rule KGF and amass its vast wealth. Rocky, on the other hand, usurps the kingdom with the support of the slaves who regard him as a saviour. He even murders Virat (Vinay Bidappa), Garuda’s brother and the KGF heir apparent. Rocky, on the other hand, spares Vanaram (Ayyappa P Sharma), the army commander at KGF.
Vanaram, first enraged, joins Rocky and trains small children to become the territory’s new guards.
Rocky discovers a number of unexplored mines in the area and instructs the men to begin collecting gold from them. The goal is to find as much gold is possible in as little time as possible. Meanwhile, Adheera (Sanjay Dutt), the brother of KGF founder Suryavardhan, was assumed dead. He is, however, still alive and has come to KGF to exact vengeance and claim possession. He cleverly extracts Rocky from KGF and shoots him.
Prashanth Neel’s story is excellent and pays a nice tribute to the angry-young-man and gangster films of Amitabh Bachchan of the 70s and 80s. Prashanth Neel’s screenplay is highly captivating. Despite such a vast storyline and so many characters, his writing flows smoothly. Also, he is aware that audiences expect a lot of massy stuff from KGF – CHAPTER and in this regard, he makes fans very happy as he has peppered the narrative with plenty of clapworthy scenes. The Hindi dialogues are very powerful and further enhance the commercial appeal of the film. A few scenes work big time just due to the acidic one-liners.
Another fan replied to a comment comparing RRR, Baahubali 2 and KGF Chapter 2’s opening day box office record. The fan wrote, “KGF is 3rd because it has RRR, Beast on the run it didn’t get much screens to reach 1st.. If it was the only movie then it would have grossed nearly 300 cr…As per the hype and demand.. #KGFChapter2.” Calling the film, ‘worth the hype,’ another one said, “#KGFChapter2 is worth the hype. The movie which has taken the Indian cinema to another dimension. #godlevel performance by @TheNameIsYash sir and breathtaking performance by @duttsanjay sir. Everyone did the splendid job. A must watch #epicsaga of #kgf. Waiting for #KGF3”
Another encouraged people to watch KGF Chapter 2 to support the Kannada film industry.
“In the midst of these businesses, there’s this small industry called Kannada industry that is capable but lacks the potential, till kgf came out,” the source wrote. So all we seek is for support for the Kannada industry, similar to how we backed Baahubali, which grossed over 150 crores in Karnataka.”
Ravi Basrur’s music is dramatic and gives goosebumps. ‘Toofan’ is energetic. Visually too, it works big time. ‘Sulthan’ is in the same zone as ‘Rocky Bhai’. ‘Falak Tu Garaj Tu’ is okay. Ravi Basrur’s background score is quite loud but contributes to the impact. Bhuvan Gowda’s cinematography is praiseworthy. The film has a fresh, international look and doesn’t look like a regional film at all. Shivakumar’s production design is quite imaginative. Anbariv’s action is one of the highlights of the film. Unifi Media’s VFX is terrific. Sania Sardhariya’s costumes for Yash are quite stylish while Navin Shetty’s costumes for Sanjay Dutt are unique and novel. Ashwin Mawle and Hassan Khan’s costumes for Srinidhi Shetty are glamorous. Ujwal Kulkarni’s editing is razor sharp.
On the whole, KGF – CHAPTER 2 [Hindi] is a blockbuster all the way. The film has already generated a tremendous craze and historic advance sales due to the hype, popularity of the first part, mass element and of course Yash’s stylish avatar. At the box office, it is sure to take a historic opening and emerge as one of the biggest blockbusters ever, challenging even the numbers of the pre-pandemic record grossers. Recommended!
