Thoughts in and out of reason

THE most anticipated movie of all times is finally here. The movie gods showed mercy and bestowed upon us a feast for our senses, like water on parched lips. Like moth to flame, we sacrifice ourselves at the brilliance of it all. It would have been sacrilege to release this movie on OTT as systems such as IMAX were built because one day, movies such as KGF would be made. And I thank the makers for waiting it out and unleashing it in the theatres  🙏 . It is no small feat to hold out in an unpredictable world and I applaud the guts here.  Teaser .  Trailer . Like how you hesitate approaching the sunshine of your life in college, I didn't even watch the trailer till a few hours prior to experiencing the movie. True story. So sacred is the image in my brain. This movie is written and directed by  Prashanth Neel , cinematography is by  Bhuvan Gowda , art direction is by Shivakumar and music is by  Ravi Barsur . KGF2 The narration style is similar to that of Ch...

Although I had heard of this movie from friends, I hadn't watched it for a long time. Not sure why. Ugramm (Furious) is a 2014 Indian Kannada gangster /action / thriller film directed by Prashanth Neel  sir and produced under the banner Inkfinite Pictures.

I understand the reason behind this but in my opinion, if things were modified, the movie might have been unstoppable. I pretty much ignored this phase. After this, the pace picks up substantially, especially onto the second half where the real fun begins. It gets relentless and puts you on the edge of your seat as you proceed . Check out the movie trailer  he...

KGF. The abbreviation which we all learnt in school is now a magnum opus in Kannada (and dubbed in a few other languages as well) thanks to the dreams, dedication and hard work of this immensely talented visionary team. This is the first installment of what will be a 2 - part movie. This movie is written and directed by Prashanth Neel , cinematography is by Bhuvan Gowda , art direction is by Shivakumar and music is by Ravi Barsur . I do not want to bore anyone with numbers ( “ Money is numbers and numbers never end. If it takes money to be happy, your search for happiness will never end .” - Bob Marley) or this - versus that, but this is a big budget movie for the Kannada film industry, and justice has been done on each and every Rupee spent. The movie (fiction, not based on a real story) traces the origins and rise of the protagonist, played by Yash  and his destiny, which is intertwined with that of  KGF (Kolar gold fields - read the history of this place here ).
