I watched this Movie in Hindi and Kannada as well(am fluent in both).What I have to say is great screenplay , music and action,the first half of the movie is fast paced introducing all the characters in the plot , switching between past and present scenes of the main character. the actress was just a spice in the movie, the main story was revolved around Yash.
The Second half portrays the barbarism in the region of KGF and the movie becomes little slow paced as compared to the first half. The attention to detail given is admirable, this is the invitation for chapter two, the best scenes in the movie is the last 15 min which takes to the climax of the movie.
overall Superb movie, the people in the theater were not able to stop themselves from whistling and cheering.
PS: Best to watch in a theater having good sound effect
