KGF 2 director Prashanth Neel says 'casting Sanjay Dutt was a no ... (The Indian Express)

Starring Yash, Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Prakash Raj among others, KGF 2 releases in theatres on April 14.

The film’s backdrop may appear violent and harsh and in Neel’s words “hell on earth” but he said that was important to drive Rocky’s story forward. I am here to tell you the story of this guy.” So, the pressure is there for the way they are looking at the story and not the pressure of are we going to make money? For the second part, the team roped in Hindi cinema’s popular actors Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon. Actors Prakash Raj, Eswari Rao, Rao Ramesh are also new additions in the cast. Neel admits that there is pre-release pressure to live up to the expectations from the audiences. If the pre-release buzz is to be believed, the film is among the most awaited ones in Indian cinema this year. Neel, who made his directorial debut with 2014 Kannada film Ugramm, followed by KGF: Chapter 1, however, doesn’t believe in taking credit for the immense popularity that Yash enjoys today. We put in a lot of prominence to this (human element) while filming the first and second chapter.” We started out as a Kannada movie and eventually thought of splitting it in two parts and taking it outside. The two-part multilingual film, which had its first chapter released in 2018, turned out to be the highest grossing movie of the Kannada industry. “The human element is the first thing that we should put in a big movie. “When we started with the film, we never thought that it would be this (big) and that we would be here today.

KGF 2 Review – Riding High On Mass Elevations (Mirchi9)

Prashanth Neel has become a huge brand with KGF itself. There will be no looking back for him if the second chapter succeeds.

The all-time highest-grossing dubbed movie is also up for grabs for KGF: Chapter 2 in Telugu. It will depend on the talk, though. The latter especially is a significant miss compared to the first part. It is expected to shatter the opening day record in Hindi for a dubbed movie and challenge all time. The emotional connection of the second half of KGF and the subsequent heroic elevation for the masses is missing here. Other major targets for KGF: Chapter 2 is aiming for the top opening day grosses, including all the languages. After Baahubali movies, KGF is the second movie from the Southern film industry that is coming as a duology or with a part two. However, it is only in the second half that it becomes the mainstay. In fact, one is amused with the proceedings and their ridiculousness. The basic idea summation of the KGF 1 and 2 can be said as the journey of Rocky from a man to a myth to a legend. KGF: Chapter 2 is about the elevation of Rocky. After a grand re-introduction, Prashanth Neel takes a predictable route to elevate him. It is similar to KGF in body and soul as the director throws bigger challenges to elevate his hero further. It is a political one with the Prime Minister directly involved.

What's gonna be even more impressive is that, generally, South India show drop in the collection after opening day but since North India is going to make up almost half of the All India collections and it is a four-day holiday weekend, the 4-day weekend total as it can very well top Rs. 500 crores by Sunday in India if everything goes right. A new opening day record will need the Hindi version to deliver around Rs. 60 crores but if the sales are to go by it can quite easily go as high as Rs. 75 crores. To put some context, the film is targeting an opening day of Rs. 9 crores or so in East Indian circuits, while the biggest single day in the region is just around Rs. 7 crores. The pre-sales for the movie are absolute fire, with an estimated Rs. 75 crores plus in sales for the opening day already. The current projections for the opening day of the movie range from Rs. 135-150 crores, with a lot depending on how high the Hindi version can go. Baahubali 2 holds the opening day record in India with Rs. 133.90 crores.

The Hindi version of K.G.F: 2 with a higher opening screen count is leading the charts for advance ticket sales. Beast is set to notch up ₹40 crore-plus on the first day, with advance bookings crossing 1.8 million in south India, led by Tamil Nadu. It will also woo audiences from the North with a Hindi version. “If word-of-mouth around it is good, all records will be broken," Chauhan said he will discontinue with RRR to run K.G.F. in all four shows in his single screen cinema. “Beast is the biggest film of the year for us and K.G.F has been completely overshadowed here. Vishek Chauhan, an independent exhibitor from Bihar, said K.G.F. is one of the biggest films for north India this year and will run without opposition for at least a week. With advance bookings going through the roof, Hindi dub of K.G.F:2 will make a massive opening and possibly beat the first day earnings of RRR," Kamal Gianchandani, chief executive officer, PVR Pictures Ltd, said.

KGF Chapter 2 Movie Review: Yash and Sanjay Dutt steal the show ... (India Today)

Director Prashanth Neel's KGF: Chapter 2 starring Yash, Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon is a paisa-vasool action entertainer.

With Sanjay Dutt, Prashanth found a menacing villain, who has an equal weightage as the hero. The sequel has enough meat in terms of story, which comes as a huge advantage. The second part, KGF: Chapter 2, shows the enemies unable to handle Rocky's rise as the messiah of the masses. Like Baahubali, Prashanth Neel did a clever job of establishing the characters and plot in the first part. Raja Krishnappa Bairya AKA Rocky Bhai (Yash) is now the ruler of Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) after killing Garuda. In Prakash Raj's words, Rocky has built an indestructible empire in KGF with his clever thinking and quick wit. The first part, KGF: Chapter 1, ended on a high note and managed to keep curiosity alive for over 3.5 years.

KGF: Chapter 2 movie review — Prashanth Neel, Yash h..t out of the ... (Firstpost)

KGF Chapter 2 is far better than KGF 1 writing-wise, and the ideation is way better too.

Yash is all swag and sophistication, look-wise, and the desi English quirk stays with him in this film too. Yes, Rocky and his mannerisms and the swish of his hair will become meme magic. Now, one can only wait for Chapter 3 to find out what happened in the inky blue depth of the Indian Ocean speckled with gold bars. What I liked most about KGF2 is that there is no happily ever after, both in the personal and professional space. This is one director we all need to watch out for — he’s just on his third film and already has some signature motifs. This is that kind of film — that reminds you why you want the big screen, reminds you why popcorn is the perfect accompaniment for a good commercial flick. Even with Ramika, you don’t really know what drives her — love for the country or the power high of being a dictator? Art director Shivakumar J achieves something wonderful with the film — he suspends it in a semi-mythical zone, yet leaves it rooted too. The rest of the film is a series of set pieces where Rocky keeps tackling foes, including the country’s prime minister Ramika Sen (Raveena Tandon looking majestic and stern all the time). Rocky is still guided by his mother Shantamma’s (Archana Jois) words. The star of the film continues to be the monotone-filled violent world of Narachi, and its happenings. He’s your benevolent dictator, who removes people from the shackles of bonded labour and keeps work going in the gold mines. I can’t say the same about KGF2 nearly four years later — I hardly heard a single dialogue amid the hooting audience and relied on the subtitles.

Even if the film has not been shot continually, the leading man has been able to recreate his iconic character Rocky Bhai's laid-back attitude and swag from the first instalment effortlessly. Gowda has yet again proved his potential as a cinematographer with his matchless capture of action sequences, which is truly the heart and soul of the whole film. For the second instalment, Cinematographer Bhuvan Gowda has repeated the Japanese black tonality of the prequel to give the film a retro and raw look. No doubt, Yash is the mainstay of the KGF franchise. Most importantly, he has not only given focus to the action part of the film but has also displayed an emotional side to it, which is immersive and poignant. The three-films old helmer who shot to National fame with KGF appears to have outdone himself, as he succeeded in packing a solid punch with the sequel.

On the eve of the release, director Neel took to Twitter to share a note, urging fans to not support piracy.

It’s the biggest release ever for a Kannada film which has also been dubbed and released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.

In her tasteful saris, and that trademark white streak in the hair, Raveena Tandon leaves a little more impact: she is also responsible for an act which has ensured the erasure of the wild and valorous deeds of Rocky from our history books. The film swings haphazardly between the past, which shows us Rocky’s devotion towards his mother (Archana Jois), and the present, in which he swings between being a saviour and the guy who cracks the whip and roars at the workers to never stop working. His unruly mane is still the same, but this time around Rocky appears in a series of sharp suits, standing out against the thousands of extras dressed in mud-brown humble clothes.

Movie: KGF Chapter 2. Rating: 3/5. Banner: Hombale Films Cast: Yash, Sanjay Dutt, Srinidhi Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Prakash Raj, Malavika Avinash, ...

The film is like a baap of elevations and lives up to the hype. Like in the first part, he abruptly cuts a scene and brings in a narrator-interviewer scene to further proceed the story, thus saving a lot of runtime. It is a feast to the mass audiences. So, the drama involving Rocky and his new batch of nemesis is not as gripping. The real story of Rocky’s rise in Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) unfolds in the second part and as we have guessed, we get to see the fight between Rocky Bhai and Adheera. The mother-doctor sequence in the final moments is absurd. The Eeshwari Rao-her son’s episode is another forced drama. The cinematography and the production design are grand. He elevates heroism to the peak. Raveena Tandon steals the moments she is in. In the first part, he didn’t get a chance to wear designer clothes. The second part “KGF 2” already took the box office by storm with massive advance sales.

Bhuvan Gowda, the cinematographer, creates his own visual palette and doesn’t seem too bogged down by the period setting of the story – each frame, each swipe of the camera is beautiful and admirable. The main star of the film, however, is the exceptional synergy between Prashanth Neel and his team. Sanjay Dutt is certainly a striking figure on the screen in his Vikings avatar and is his imposing best in the breath-taking action sequences. As he expands the mining operations of KGF, he turns it into his hidden fortress and becomes a demigod in the eyes of the people, while Adheera’s menacing presence looms larger than ever. Prashanth Neel, whose story unfurled in a slow-yet-intriguing manner in KGF: 1, makes no bones about his intent with the sequel and cranks up the energy right from the word go. Vijayendra Ingalgi (Prakash Raj), son of the former journalist and author of the infamous book El-Dorado, takes over as the narrator of KGF: 2 and soon sets the context.

Yash and Radhika went on to bag a bevy of films together including, one of the biggest hits, Mr and Mrs Ramachari. Moggina Manasu released in 2008, featured him in a supporting role. His character Nandisha in the film Kirataka got him more popularity. For the promotions of his 2009 Kallare Santhe release, he drove an auto. It wouldn’t matter to them that I’m a big star in Kannada," Naveen Kumar Gowda aka Yash had said in one of the interviews with The News Minute in 2018. He believed in the vision of Prashanth Neel. And with no intention of becoming a pan-India star through KGF, Yash, today, is one of the biggest and most bankable stars in the industry.

KGF Chapter 2 review: This Yash-starrer is an immersive film that is worth the hype and one of the finest sequels to have come out in a long time.

As the story unfolds, it brings in a lot many characters without interrupting the pace of the story or screenplay. In fact, there’s quite an irony in the character sketch she’s given. One of the finest sequels to have come out in a long time, KGF 2 takes off right from where the first part ended. Rocking Star Yash returns to screen as the raw and ruthless hero. As Anand Ingalagi (Anant Nag), the author of El Doradao is hospitalised and can no longer narrate the story of KGF (Kolar Gold Fields) and rise of Rocky, his son Vijayendra Ingalagi (Prakash Raj) takes over. It was only recently that I sat down to watch KGF part 1 and in all honesty, I didn’t understand most of it.

"KGF Chapter 2" follows Rocky, who not only demands retributive justice, but wants to fulfill the promise he gave to his mother.

The man, even if for a moment, had all the gold in the world and had fulfilled the promise that he had given to his mother. He had a purpose behind calling the naval forces of three nations. He had sent a fax to the Indian, Indonesian, and American forces himself. He was the one leaking information to Adheera. Rocky, in exchange for the huge amount of money and gold, had taken Kalashnikovs and other deadly ammunitions from Inayath Khalil. He had the firepower, and he initiated an onslaught on Adheera’s army. There was an insider who was leaking information to the enemy. But Rocky was in no mood to meddle with the insignificant pieces of the chessboard. Rocky recovered, and he had a strategy in mind. Inayath Khalil, a smuggler from the UAE, had always wanted to enter Kolar Gold Fields, and with Sooryavardhan on his deathbed, he knew he had a genuine chance. Rocky came out of the water like a predator and, with his sword, killed Garuda. He had also killed Virat earlier, who was the younger brother of Gaurda. Rocky always wanted to rule Bombay. But the day Andrews promised to give him the city as a gift, if he was able to kill Garuda, there was a seed of greed that was sown inside him. He remembered when his mother had to struggle every day so that he could stay alive.
