Salaar Review: KGF Chapter 1 and KGF Chapter 2 director Prashant Neel’s magnum opus, ‘Salaar,’ hit cinemas worldwide on December 22nd. The film features Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, Shriya Reddy, and Jagapati Babu in lead roles. Salaar had generated tremendous hype, but there were also negative speculations, comparing it to Ugram and even suggesting it as a remake of KGF. However, after watching Salaar, directed by Prashant Neel, one can’t help but think that it also carries elements of Ugram and the intensity of KGF. Yet, Salaar is a distinct cinematic experience. Let’s delve into Prashant Neel and Prabhas’s Salaar.

Salaar’s Story

The narrative of Salaar revolves around two friends, Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Prabhas does something for Prithviraj that makes him indebted, leading to a complex turn of events. Shruti Haasan makes a noteworthy entry in the film. The story eventually unfolds in the stronghold of criminals, where rules are different, and sacrifices are made for survival. Salaar takes us on a journey starting from Ugram, shifting dramatically to Salaar after the interval, creating a world that only Rajamouli, the director of Baahubali, has managed to craft successfully so far. While the first half may seem a bit slow, the second half compensates with its gripping narrative.

Direction in Salaar

Prashant Neel’s direction in Salaar is exceptional. Prashant Neel really demonstrates his talent for making suspenseful, action-packed films by combining colorful imagery with a gripping narrative and endearing characters. As the movie comes to a close, it leaves you wondering about what will happen in “Shauryang Parvam,” a potential sequel that promises even more action and thrills.

Acting in Salaar

In terms of acting, Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran didn’t have to put in extra effort, as Prashant Neel’s direction didn’t burden them. They seamlessly fit into their roles.

Verdict for Salaar

The first half of Salaar might feel a bit slow, but the pace picks up with Prabhas’s action post the interval, introducing a new dimension to the story. The film undergoes a significant shift in tone and texture, with Prashant Neel indicating that Salaar’s next part, ‘Shauryang Parvam,’ will be even more spectacular. If you’re a fan of Prashant Neel and Prabhas, enjoy Prithviraj’s performances, love action films, and crave a larger-than-life cinematic experience, Salaar is a perfect choice.
