Considering Chapter 1, my preference leans towards Salaar over KGF due to the director’s adept creation of drama to elevate Prabhas. This is what I felt was lacking in KGF Chapter 1. I wasn’t fond of the way the protagonist Yash simply went bang bang bang, and there were numerous introductions of side antagonists. Prashanth Neel, the director, has successfully addressed these aspects in Salaar, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
However, when it comes to KGF Chapter 2, there is no comparison; it stands as a masterpiece.
Prashanth Neel Powers:
His adept use of side characters to build up the main hero is commendable. The beauty lies in elevating supporting characters before the main hero takes the spotlight. Notable instances include the captivating Shriya Reddy, whose negative force is anchored by impactful chanting before her full appearance in the interval shot. The director even elevates a servant character, Jhansi, adding depth to the narrative.
The second half is a rollercoaster of action episodes, with a climax twist within a twist. Prashant Neel’s upfront screenplay and storytelling in this section are standout features. Prabhas’s comeback is nothing short of impressive, marking a strong return after some less successful films post-Baahubali.
Ravi Basrur’s music is good, but considering the standards set by the KGF franchise, a bit more could have been offered. Anticipation be on the upcoming Shouryanga Parvam.
