Analysis
After Sensational K.G.F: Chapter 1, Chapter 2 Finally hit the screens amid lots of Expectations, hype and Yes it completely lives up to All the hype and expectations.
Movie starts off with introducing the Media Characters from Chapter 1 and Vijay's character as Son of Anand. Once Vijay starts to narrate the story of K.G.F from where it's left, it's just amazing till End.
Introduction scene of Rocky Bhai is a Feast And Whistle Worthy. After introducing Rocky, Movie proceedings become a bit slow.
Movie has a problem of Slow narration in very few places. Whenever the pace is slow, Movie feels like it's going off track but immediately the movie is bought back on track with mass heroism elevation scenes and sequences of Rocky's plans to rebuild the empire.
One of the biggest asset to the movie is it's strong drama and emotions. Like in Chapter 1, The mother and Son Sentiment is the driving force. In Chapter 2, the focus on Emotional side of Rocky, attachment with his mother and his love is more which brings lots of depth and drama to the Proceedings.
Adheera's character is introduced with an excellent scene which established the power and motive of Adheera in a right way.
Car chase scene is one of the best sequences in recent times. The transitions make it even more interesting to watch. It is followed by terrific fight scene. This Whole episode is one of the major highlights in the movie.
Pre-Interval to Interval is yet another highlights of the movie. A twist about Rocky's plan and Whistle worthy Heroism Elevation make it a stunning Interval bang.
Post Interval too the movie maintains the same level of intensity. It starts with a gun fight between Adheera and Rocky which is Magnificently presented.
Rocky visiting parliament to meet Ramika Sen is pure Mass feast. Dialogues are extremely well written which will surely appeal the masses.
Director made sure to plant scenes that give a high throughout the movie at regular intervals. Ramika Sen comes into play and gives a tough fight to Rocky.
Again for few minutes the movie slows down and Feels going off track. Love song in second half is good to ears but feels forced in the movie.
Movie comes back on track when Adheera finds a way to reach K.G.F and Kill Rocky. Pre-Climax yet another highlight. Its starts with a heart wrenching emotional scene which leads to a Brutal battle between Adheera and Rocky. This scene is followed by Rocky going into the Parliament with his guards. The Whole Pre-Climax to Climax Episode is Marvelous.
Movie ends on an emotional note but before you leave the theatre director pumps in an adrenaline rush with an Extraordinary scene which will surely leave everyone in goosebumps.
Dialogues are the backbone of the movie. Neel has done a brilliant job with narration and writing part. Every Dialogues mouthed by Rocky are Mass attracting. Editing is excellent. Movie has the right Runtime and Racy pacing for most of the time. Production values are great.
Camera Work by Bhuvan Gowda is Top Notch. He maintains the mood and atmosphere of the movie with stunning visuals.
All The songs on screen are lit. Toofan focuses on showing the glimpses of Rocky entering into K.G.F and killing Garuda. Dheera Dheera song shows Rocky building and expanding his empire. Mehbooba song shows the love track between the leads.
Ravi Basrur does a tremendous work with Music. Songs on screen are presented superbly and BGM is smashing. It increases the effect of every scene and takes the experience to next level
(MY) Final Word
K.G.F: Chapter 2 lives up to, infact exceeds all the hype and expectations around it. Leaving a very few slow paced scenes, Director has succeeded in giving the audience what they expect to see in Chapter 2 with Extraordinary Heroism Elevation scenes and Mass Moments. On a Whole, K.G.F.: Chapter 2 ends up as a Befitting and Stunning Sequel that Shows Rock's way of Building and Ruling the Empire in a Wicked Way! A Must Watch!
Bottomline: K.G.F: Chapter 2 - Raw, Intense and Engaging. A Spectacular sequel!
Note: This is my take on the movie. That is why I am not rating the movie. I respect each and every movie. Making people read my review and influencing them to form an impression on a movie before watching the movie is never my intention. I am a Movie lover too. This is just to express my view on the movie.
