The setting of KGF part one (2018) was the most remarkable features of the film. At every chance, the camera was pulled all the way back to give us a bird's eye perspective of the huge gold mines of kolar, buried deep beneath the earth and the millions of faceless men and women toiling away below. Slaves, actually, yoked to their back-breaking labour without pause, thampled by their cruel lord's iron feet.

It's scope was reminiscent of the old MGM biblical movies. In order to be seen and heard in KGF humans had to holler and shout.  As a result the background music had you grabbing for your earplugs. As a result larger - than - life characters lead by Rocky, take centre stage Yash.
