KGF Chapter 2 Movie Review : Tasty Feast Served to Yash Fans

KGF Chapter 2 Movie Review: Yash as Rocky gets into the skin of the role with ease. He is the principal character and is present in 80% of the movie. He sets the screen on fire with his blazing screen presence, dialogues, fights and style. One would say this is his career best performance till date. Yash has nailed his part, Sanjay Dutt is Outstanding, Raveena Tandon too made her presence bankable. Srinidhi has done her part well unlike in first part. The kid who acted as junior rocky is fantastic. There is a long list of new villains who all perform well and are presented effectively, special mention to guy who played Garuda character. Anant nag as a narrator is adept. Should say the entire casting is perfect.

A special mention to Background score, it really makes the movie so interesting at places and feel good and goose bump experience is possible by power packed BGM.

All technical departments have done their part with finesse to enhance the movie to another level. Cinematography by Bhuvan, artwork by Shivu, BGM by Ravi Basrur and costume designing are exceptional. The sets are huge and CG extensions look very realistic and of great quality. Brilliant colour grading gives that extra feel to connect to the period and geography. Editing in certain fight scenes were a little cluttered but overall good.

Hats off to the producer for his guts. Though the movie has its minor flaws in some places it is nullified by the fast pace and engaging story telling.

Overall, a fabulous movie to be watched only in theatres. If you watch it online or on television the essence and feel will be lost. A film not to be missed at all.

Umair Sandhu, a member of the overseas Censor Board, got a chance to watch Prashanth Neel’s directorial before its theatrical debut on April 14.

Sandhu has reviewed the film on his Instagram Story and given it five stars. Sharing the review, Sandhu wrote, “The breathtaking, larger-than-life frames grandiose and opulent production design and stunning visual effects impart sheen and sparkle. The action portions provide ample exhilarating moments and I must add, it commands repeat viewing. KGF 2 is powered by strong performances from the skilled cast. Having said that, the eyes are on the protagonist and antagonist all the while. Yash is electrifying and Sanjay Dutt is Outstanding.”

“KGF2 is akin to a typhoon that will end the dry spell at the box office and go down as a textbook on how to 0:00 make a solid entertainer,” Sandhu added.
KGF 2 has grown beyond its initial take-off. Started eight years ago as a Kannada movie, the franchise has now spread wide and beyond.

KGF Chapter 2 Box Office Predictions:

KGF: Chapter 2 has already collected Rs. 16 crore nett for the opening day with merely the advance booking sale. To put things into perspective, by the end of Wednesday, the advance booking of KGF 2 would have crossed the opening day of RRR (Rs. 19 crore), which is the biggest opener of 2022 in Hindi belts.

KGF 2 is competing with films like War and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, which had created an all time record in the advance booking in Hindi belts. The two films had sold 4.05 lakh and 3.40 lakh tickets respectively in the national chains, and the trends suggest that KGF 2 will end up somewhere in between the two record openers or may be marginally above War.
The advance of KGF Chapter 2 in Hindi circuits will be second biggest of all time for an Indian film after the giant, Baahubali 2, in terms of ticket sales, and probably the highest ever for an Indian film if we take total collections into account. We shall have a clearer picture on this by Wednesday night. While Jersey would have acted as an opponent stopping KGF 2 from reaching its true potential on opening day, the Yash film now has an open ground to explode on April 14.

Few websites predicts the film to open in the Rs. 40 crore range on Thursday and truly feel that it also has a chance of hitting the Rs. 50 crore number. This is nothing but a historic feat, more of a repeat telecast from April 2017, when Baahubali 2 was released.

KGF Chapter 2 pre-bookings breaks records:

KGF: Chapter 2 pre-booking sales have broken all records. Within 12 hours, KGF 2 has sold approximately 1.07 lakh tickets in the Hindi belts with a total gross of Rs 3.35 crore (Rs 2.83 crore nett). With the release of RRR, it is believed that the forthcoming actioner has the potential to beat the sales of SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus.

According to Pinkvilla, the advance bookings of the KGF sequel are strong across the country, with Delhi leading from the front with ticket sales in the range of Rs 75 lakh, followed by Mumbai with a total of approximately Rs 60 lakh. The bookings have opened on just limited shows as of now, and full-fledged advances will open by Sunday when the sales will just go higher and higher.

According to the estimates mentioned by the leading daily, it claims that RRR had an overall advance of Rs 5.08 crore, and KGF 2 already stands at Rs 3.35 crore with a week left for release. The data collated for RRR was on 3788 shows, whereas KGF 2 bookings have just opened on 1839 shows at the moment. However, with a week still left, it might witness a surge while giving tough competition to RRR.

Given the hype that has been built around the film, it seems that the factor would work for the film and it is sure to smash the box office records. While the first instalment came as an underdog with very few giving it a chance in the Hindi belts, the second part is already proving to be a box office monster. The film is directed by Prashanth Neel.

Glimpse of KGF Chapter 1:

If you have watched KGF Chapter 1 you might have experienced non-linear format of story line which travels to and fro from 1951 to 2018. Story starts as a narrative of an ambitious Rocky’s partial journey towards power and riches. Though most of the scenes have been partially incomplete the story has carried the suspense element of what is KGF Chapter 2 going to hold. The first half episodes build the character of Rocky and establishes him has a powerful maverick don with a small element of love story adding comic sense to the story line. It breezes to the interval with its share of cliche punchlines, multiple hero elevations, goose bumps and item song i.e., typical commercial format story telling but with lots of style and swag.

Second half of the movie takes a turn around where the essence and suspense is still kept tangling by not distracting the audience concentration where rocky enters the dark dangerous world of KGF. Director Prashant transports the viewer into a totally different world of slaves, atrocities and marauding army of warlords. The visuals are of world standards and some scenes leave you spell bound. It reminds the viewer Mad Max type of visuals. The film ends with a twist and leaves the viewer yearning for the KGF Chapter 2.

The movie is Karnataka’s contribution to the pan India audience and director Prashanth leaves no stone unturned in making it a master piece. His vision has been told with utmost conviction and clarity. This movie sets a precedent for the upcoming Kannada movies and new local talents to dream big. Prashant’s screenplay and multi layered story telling keeps you engaged without a moment of dullness in the movie. The way he inserted Rocky’s mother episodes throughout the movie can easily call him Kannada’s Rajamouli.
