FOUR YEARS AGO , THE CREATOR OF K.G.F : CHAPTER 1 MADE A PROMISE . A PROMISE TO BREAK NEW GROUND AND CREATE THE BEST MOVIE . TO REACH A NEW AUDIENCE. AND TODAY THEY ARE  BACK IN K.G.F :CHAPTER 2, AND JUDGING FROM THE REACTION, THE PROMISE WAS KEPT. WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY SUPERSTAR PRASHANTH  NEEL HIMSELF, THE KGF FILM CAPTURES THE NATION'S CONSCIOUSNESS AND REINVENTS THE LONG-STANDING STORY OF AN OUTSIDER WHO HAS OVERCOME ALL DIFFICULTIES. BUT IF THE VULNERABLE PERSON IN QUESTION IS THE SEEMINGLY INVINCIBLE ROCKY BYE (YASH),ALL THE ELEMENTS OF THE MASALA  TEMPLATE ARE TAKEN TO AN ASTRONOMICAL LEVEL. 

DIRECTOR: PRASHANTH NEEL 

CAST: YASH, SANJAY DUTT, RAVEENA TANDON, SRINDI SHETTY, ATTUS KUMAR

THE SECOND PART BEGINS WHERE  THE FIRST PART ENDS. YOU CAN SEE THAT NARACHI'S  “PILLAR” IS FORCED TO ACCEPT  ROCKY AS HIS NEW BOSS. OF COURSE, THIS LEADS TO A GENERAL GRUDGE , AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE BETRAYAL HITS ROCKY'S LEFT , RIGHT, AND CENTER. HOWEVER, WE FOCUS ON THE INGENUITY OF PRODUCTION , NOT THE INGENUITY OF PLOTTING KGF. WHENEVER I THINK I VE REACHED THE CLIMAX OF A PARTICULAR CONFLICT, IT'S AS IF PRASANT GIVES A CROOKED SMILE, AS IF IT WERE THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS EVIDENCE OF THE IMPACT  OF WRITING . FOR EXAMPLE, IN OTHER FILMS THE ASHEERA ROCKY MEETING COULD HAVE BEEN THE IDEAL CLIMAX OF THE SHOWDOWN. HOWEVER , HERE ARE THREE GREAT SEQUENCES WITH FORCE VIBRATIONS AND EACH OF THE SCENES PROVIDES THE SIZE AND STRENGTH THAT K.G.F WILL KNOW FOREVER. ANOTHER ASPECT OF K.G.F THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH FRANCHISES IS OVER-STABILIZED VIOLENCE. THERE IS MUCH DEBATE ABOUT WHERE  THE FILM IS LOCATED IN THE MORAL SPECTRUM, BUT THE FILM'S COMPELLING VISUAL STYLE OBSCURES SUCH LINES OF THOUGHT THROUGHOUT ITS EXECUTION. A LOT OF SUCH QUESTIONS  DO ARISE WHILE WATCHING K G F 2, THE PRIMARY OF WHICH IS THE TERRIBLY UNDER WRITTEN FEMALE LEAD. WITH SRINIDHI SHETTY'S REENA SUFFERING FROM A SEVERE CASE OF STOCKHOLM SYNDROME, ONE CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL BAD ABOUT  HER CHARACTER SKETCH. IT IS TROUBLING BECAUSE EVEN SMALLER ROLES LIKE THE ONE PLAYED BY EASWARI RAO GET WS NEATLY ROUNDED ARC. SURELY REENA AND SRINIDHI DESERVED BETTER. THE FILM ALSO ALMOST RUNS THE RISK OF FEELING BLOATED, ESPECIALLY IN THE PREINTERVAL PORTIONS, BECAUSE  THERE ARE A LOT OF LAYERS BEING PACKED IN TOO QUICK A TIME.
