KGF – The 916 among Mass Entertainer!
Finally got a chance to watch the most exaggerated and awaited Kannada movie K.G.F. With a making budget that surpluses 50 crore and readily earned 220 crore from box office in 20 days, this Yash starter Stylish, Period drama has hit the peaks of Kannada Industry turning almost every collection records to history.
KGF is a fictional Period drama, which narrates the story of Kolar Gold Fields of Karnataka. The narration style of the story filled with flashbacks and it literally travels in three timelines. It resembled the narration aspects of Kamal Hassan Magnum Opus Vishwaroopam but in a fresh manner, giving us lot of confusions in middle about continuity but clears them at the end and more importantly it will keeps you wait for the K.G.F Chapter – 2 the sequel, which is about to hit in theatres next year.
The worth enjoyable technical aspect of this movie are cinematography, art direction and colouring. Filmed most of the shots in Neo noir frames, which mirror the morals of Hollywood director Zack Snyder’s epic 300, even the dark soil and smoke of Kolar fields shines like Gold. From the fountain pen to the Rolls Royce cars used, every minimal thing will take your eyes into 80s.
Rocky, the central character played by Yash is synonym for Mass and Style, yes, he is a typical south Indian superhero who knocks twenty people in single punch but you will admit it due to the portrayal method of the character. KGF is definitely the convergence of all the good bits of mass movies we have experienced so far. Style, Stunts, songs, a mysterious story, handwork from hero and BGM (some creepy ones too make it a treat) makes it literally a worth watchable hero centric Tera-mass entertainer.
