सलार: Part 1 - Ceasefire

Synopsis: The film invests significant time in world-building but falls short of captivating the audience within its narrative.

First half: The initial segment is rather mediocre. While the Interval block attempts to instill excitement, the audience struggles to connect with the story from the outset. The buildup feels somewhat excessive.

Second half: Exhaustive. A substantial twist at the end sets the stage for part 2, but its impact is diminished by a desire for the film to conclude. The prolonged buildup doesn't adequately match the actual scenes, resulting in a sense of loud anticipation that one wishes to end. Trimming 30 minutes from the 3-hour runtime would have made it a more engaging watch.

Background music is subpar, excessively loud, creating an unwanted auditory experience. The songs merely exist without evoking much interest.

Final verdict: "Salaar" is a film worth exploring when time permits. It has its moments of attraction, but overall, it delivers a rather lackluster cinematic journey.

This time Prashanth's magic didn't worked out. As KGF holds up to Prashanths narration style plus Yash acting levels, Salaar has lot of dependency only on Prabhas(REBEL STAR). Story wasn't quiet interesting but elevations about second part in the movie gets the attention. Children singing song+seeking help from God+then Hero fight scenes are completely outdated. If this kind of screenplay continues its no more mass instead it makes us bore and looks like a comic. Please don't do this Mr. Neel garu.

Just Prabhas makes the run time looks OK.

Prabhas entry to KHANSAR: 🔥bgm remind me something like i am watching a MARVEL hero.

For me personally the mother character role Eshwari garu performed little over-acting.

Though the movie stood like a feast for mass fanzzz still it doesn't has much potential as expected. When i first watched kgf-1 i didn't liked it because of over hype back voice twlling about Yash but it was ok since it's all about introduction to Hero character likewise i hv satisfaction level about S🔥L🔥🔥R part 1.

Same old story, bogus action scenes! Just a cheap copy of KGF. After Baahubali I have not seen any good movie from Prabhas. This was too a bore. Too many characters, took so much time for world building. If they were planning to make more movies under this franchise name, they should have focused less in world building and more on story telling. They could have progressed their world building with each new movie. This movie could not escape the shadow of KGF. People loved Yash in KGF and director tried to just copy paste those same things! And Throughout the movie, Prabhas was so expression less, I thought I was watching Arjun Kapoor!

***Salaar Movie Review ***

Directed by Prashant Neel starring Rebel Star Prabhas in the lead. Also starring Prithviraj Sukumaran

Prashant Neel's KGF, this was the reason for watching Salaar & an expectation that there will be link of KGF and Salaar but the later is not there.

Coming to Salaar, the movie had given mass moments but it's kind feel of over injection of mass elements which creates a disinterest in watching.

Prabhas had given the best with his swag and the way he delivers the action but a viewer who watched Yash in KGF, the same goosebumps is not having when watching Prabhas in Salaar. The background music had been used extensively to elevate the mass sequences which clearly gives an indication that its intentionally made.

Prithviraj had given a decent performance.

The last 30 minutes filled with action was interesting but when deep driving in the second half, many times the screenplay had been accelerated thereby a lot feeling that something is not going as per it is required.

The core of the movie is similar to of KGF. It's about the POWER but Salaar had expressed in through the mode of friendship & violence..

There will be a lot which needs to be unboxed in Part so Part 1 is an above average flick for me.

To be honest. It is very long and boring. We have already seen KGF and the same pattern follows. Nothing new, nothing entertaining. Prashanth is still in the KGF world. Visuals, back ground score is okay but as I said i still felt like KGF.

The story is very confusing because of too many characters , it could have been crisp and shorter. It's not at all engaging, too many serious characters which I don't mind instead it could have been entertaining. Too much hype and we think like something is going to happen but man it is seriously silly and nothing really doesn't happen.

Take it easy Prashanth Neel.

One word.. BORING.!
