The movie was good. In fact, it was good enough for any future Bollywood movie on Indian Airforce to refer to Fighter than to Top gun, to get it right. Action was not cheesy, unlike other Siddharth Anand films. The story stays true to how Indian Air Force operates and hits the right emotional cord. Hrithik is brilliant along with the rest of the cast. The fresh combination of the lead pair Hrithik-Deepika works well too as they have great chemistry on the screen. Overall, a must watch in theatres.

It's a good, one time watch movie. I definitely had fun, NGL. Is it the greatest CBM of all time, as hyped? Nope. But the movie has heart, action and all the emotions. The entire cast have done a good job in terms of acting. CGI is excruciatingly poor for Hollywood Standards. The movie did not do much in connecting the DCEU to the Gunn's new DCU though, as was expected by many. The sole post credit scene did not contribute much either and the last scene of the movie is a joke that might not go down well with some fans.

My honest unbiased review : In a word, I can sum up ‘Natasaarvabhouma’ movie as strictly a “decent” movie. Without giving too much about the movie, the basic plot of the movie revolves around revenge. Puneet as the lead is at his usual best in the role and also has a few great dance moves to show in the songs. Chikanna is good in the comedy sequences. Both the lead actresses have done a decent job, but Rachita Ram’s character is created only for the purpose of a single song with almost no involvement of the character in the story, hence it was completely unnecessary. But the music director is the showstopper with his great background music at the right places. Songs are decent, not too mindblowing. Although the story creates a fairly mysterious build up through the first half, early in the second half most of the audience would guess the entire storyline including the intended ‘surprise twist’ at the end. The movie is very predictable that way. The film appears to prepare the audience for a strong social message, but falls flat against people’s expectations as it completes its entire course. The social element is used just to fill up a vacant space in the story. The story wouldn’t have been affected in any way if something other than that specific social topic was used for reasoning. That reflects the low importance that the social issue in question, gets in the film. The movie doesn’t do justice to that social issue it tries to talk about, at all. That was disheartening. Overall, it’s a decent family entertainer with a mix of comedic horror and a revenge saga. I rate it 3 on 5

An unbiased and honest review in a word: It’s a ‘fine’ movie and a great attempt. Technically, in terms of visuals, art, dialogues and lead acting it’s a brilliant movie. As a kannadiga myself, i’m extremely proud and happy with the team’s efforts and final result. But in terms of plot, the director has attempted a linear approach which makes it feel as a drag in parts. The identity of the protagonist is not kept a secret unlike ugramm( the director’s previous hit), so the story doesn’t exactly leave you with the impact n feel of Ugramm, although the team leaves no stone unturned to make that a reality and succeeds for most of their ambitious attempt too. Since it is a linear story line, you mostly get to know the exact story within around an hour, so the story may not feel as gripping as the director’s previous hit. To sum it up, the story in the movie is not about engaging questions like ‘what’ or ‘why’, because these questions are answered clearly at a very early stage in the movie. Rather it is about the ‘how’ which is brilliantly presented on visual grounds. A possible reason behind the director’s choice to narrate the story in the linear approach, is to film the first half of the movie. The movie until interval has been mostly filmed to just introduce the protagonist and to cater to the fans of the leading actor with much hype around his character. For the neutral audience, this might feel over the top and will get to their nerves at some point if they don’t connect with the leading actor or are unaware of his regional career graph. All the possible grievance that audience might have with the first half of the movie is compensated with a beautifully made second half. Infact, it is the second half of the film, that the director’s actual efforts are witnessed in terms of plot, camera work and direction. The director has opted to include a few sequences from the sequel non-linearly in the narration to tease the audience. Overall it’s an 8/10. Could have easily been a movie above 9 points.. if the director had fearlessly adopted the non linear approach that he had previously used in Ugramm, to the entire narration of the KGF plot; as it would better suit the story of KGF in terms of suspense, interest and grip.
