The film, as a whole, is a carefully designed collection of mass moments - with frequent interludes of mother-son sentiment and a drab romance. Prashanth Neel is great at crafting mass moments one after the other, in quick succession. He has already achieved legendary levels of notoriety with his deeds, even attracting the attention of the nation's Prime Minister. In Chapter 2, Rocky (Yash, with commanding screen presence) is no longer an underdog. But the writing, something that didn't work for me in Chapter 1, is still very superficial. There are impressively staged set-pieces, sophisticated production design, a pan-Indian (and possibly international) plot setup, and thumping background score. F: Chapter 2 is a film that purely runs on technical finesse. In the end, I just feel glad and kind of proud seeing a film I liked in 2018 going on to receive much bigger hype and viewer turnout with its second part in 2022. Other than that, this film should be on your watchlist if you like period action films. There is a mid-credits scene, and it's an important one.
One thing I'd definitely want to tell the viewers is to not simply get up and walk away once the credits start rolling. Sure, it does feel long at times, but it never gets boring, and with several twists and turns, the story remains intriguing till the end. Not a single scene where it feels dragged or overdone. From re-introducing our favorite characters and introducing new ones to building up conflicts and backing them with explosive action, KGF Chapter 2 has all the ingredients of a proper mass entertainer. The biggest plus point of the film is its screenplay. The music was also good and delivered without interfering with the storytelling (though one song in the second half wasn't really necessary). I was also glad to see heavy cheering and whistling throughout almost the entire duration, and some credit goes to the dialogue writer as well. From beautifully picturizing the KGF (Kolar Gold Fields) to explosively choreographing the action sequences to elevating Rocky's character at multiple occasions, they have shown they knew what the viewers wanted, and delivered the promise product without any hassle. The makers were definitely quite confident making it, and it shows in every single frame. KGF Chapter 2 expands the scale and story introduced to us in part 1 and ends up raising the bar higher. I can safely proceed to state that my expectations were not only met, but also surpassed by this fine sequel. And today, as I witnessed the second chapter of this epic action saga in cinemas as well, I found myself blown away by the gripping plot, gorgeous visuals, stunning action sequences and most importantly, Yash's screen presence as Rocky.
"Hindi viewers, please don't regret later on when it'll be playing on TV and internet." This is what I mentioned in my review of KGF Chapter 1 after I watched it in cinemas.
