In KGF 1 (2018), the character was narrated as ‘Powerful people come from powerful places,’ and now it gets rephrased in KGF 2 (2022) as ‘Powerful people build powerful places.’
KGF 2 is believed to be the most expensive Kannada film, with a budget of 100 crores. Dubbed in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam, the movie was released on 14 April 2022, with the highest number of opening screens, 10000 worldwide, including 6500 screens in India. Still, the screens were not enough as there was high demand from the KGF movie fans. Also, it is the very first Kannada film to be released in IMAX.
KGF 2 Movie Highlights
An action crime monster movie with great direction, editing, and background score, KGF 2 takes the Indian action movies to the next level.
Yash character name Rocky strikes fear in his enemies, and the character’s power is portrayed very well with perfect editing and background score. Yash did an outstanding terrific performance with good energy and stylish screen presence.
As Rocky grows powerful in a short time, the government and the opposition gangster see him as a threat, and they try to stop him in different ways.
Movie’s Strong Characters
Sanjay Dutt as Adheera, whose name was heard in KGF 1, but many wondered who it would be. Adheera’s appearance in KGF 2 with mass screen presence is well captured in a different outlook. And by giving him an equal opportunity in action sequences, the director offers Sanjay Dutt fans an awesome treat.
Raveena Tandon as Ramika Sen is a strong character. Prakash Raj as Vijayendra Ingalagi is the book author’s son who narrates the KGF 2 story. Srinidhi Shetty continues her role as Reena, Rocky’s lover turned wife. What’s next?
The best editing is the chasing scene when Adheera and his gang kidnap Reena, where Rocky chases to save her. Another mass scene is the big firing after getting back the thing that belongs to him. What is the ‘thing’ is an exciting factor that projects Rocky’s character.
In KGF 1, Rocky won and grew up to a level he was looking for–conquering the powerful place. But, in KGF 2, did Rocky win facing the strong opposition in Adheera, Ramika Sen, and KGF partner enmities? What all he needs to undergo to reach his dreams and keep the promise given to his mother forms the crux of the story.
Kolar Gold Fields – KGF 2 movie script sets Rocky’s character as more powerful than KGF 1 movie. So definitely, it can be imagined how good the action choreography and editing would be and that makes KGF 2 better than KGF 1.
Also, surprisingly, in the end, the director hints to the fans that the KGF will showcase chapter 3.
Behind the Screen
KGF2 is Written and Directed by Prashanth Neel and Edited by 19-year-old Ujwal Kulkarni. Anyone who watched the movie will agree that editing is one of the main plus points for the KGF 2’s mass reach.
Cinematography by Bhuvan Gowda and Music by Ravi Basrur are features that add to the film’s success. The movie’s background score gives more power to Rocky’s role and amplifies the mass scenes. The production company Hombale Films should be happy to see the movie box office collection est. ₹552 crores (as per current date)
Stunt Choreographer Anbariv did his best with the Rocky vs. Adheera action sequences. And those scenes are really mass acts.
