Bagheera

As good as the first half of the movie is , the second half is equally disappointing. The movie is backed by amazing background score by ajneesh loknath and an extraordinary acting by Shri murli. First half of the story was really good, I went back in looking for a promising second half but the scenes were lagged unnecessarily, Action scenes are dragged unnecessarily by the director. Though every actor have delivered their 100% , the wow factor in the movie is Majorly missing. But overall it was a good theatre experience, if anyone wants to go to theatre to watch this movie, you'll definitely have a good one time watch experience.

Better Script could have made this well-mounted movie more exciting & enjoyable.

Acting of the hero is good, but, he looked his age in many scenes, not exactly 24 or 25. Cinematography, music, set design OK.

But, script is not tight. Nor ,the details.

There should have been more details about the negative characters . Should have offered a non-linear storyline, some more twists.

Vedanth's father's role is absurd. His dialogue & gesticulations in his last appearance were poor in taste. Police Commissioner 's action in stopping Vedanth is abrupt - there should have been more emphasis in developing this sub-plot.

I noticed this movie trending in the top list on Hotstar for quite some time, which prompted me to give it a shot. I'm glad I did, as it turned out to be a decent timepass.

When justice and the system turn a blind eye, an honest police officer transforms into a superhero to protect the people. He takes it upon himself to clean the city by eliminating a powerful crime syndicate.

The concept of a hero becoming a messiah isn't unique, but the way it unfolds makes it interesting. The narrative moves at a brisk pace with enough drama, action, and a touch of romance to keep the audience engaged. However, the story has its share of loopholes, and the punchy dialogues one would expect from a movie like this are missing.

Sri Murali, in the lead, fits the role both physically and performance-wise. He embodies the character well, and his screen presence lights up the film. Rukmini Vasanth, as his love interest, does justice to her role, but their entire romantic subplot could have been trimmed for better pacing, especially since their chemistry feels off. Garuda Ram, as the antagonist, is menacing and his burnt look adds to the discomfort he creates. Prakash Raj delivers a solid performance, though his character feels inconsistent. Rangayana Raghu is brilliant as the constable, adding depth to narrative.

The action sequences are well-shot and choreographed, keeping you glued to the screen. However, some of the graphics feel a bit patchy. The songs don't add much value and only stretch the runtime unnecessarily. On the bright side, the superhero's look is well-designed, delivering the intended vibe.

With a stronger and more unique storyline, this film had the potential to be much better. Dr. Suri's direction is commendable, but Prashanth Neel's story drags it down. Still, it's worth watching as a visual spectacle and a decent one-time watch.

This film brings Western superhero grandeur to real-life scenarios, with KGF/Hombale-style cinematography and massy dialogues. It's packed with intense, disturbing, and violent moments, making for a high-impact, gripping start.

The family bond established early on is heartfelt, creating an emotional anchor for the film. The romantic track between the leads feels fresh at first, with both characters strong in their own ways and sharing morals, but as the story progresses, it falls into the usual tropes and loses its charm.

The screenplay, though action-packed, feels rushed due to fast-paced editing, and at times, the choppy cuts fail to make a significant impact during the action sequences.

The film does a good job of presenting a societal dilemma around the definition of a hero. It explores the tension between an ideal, moral world and the harsh, practical reality where circumstances force people to compromise their values.

While the first half sets up a lot of conflict, the second half becomes more engaging, introducing new characters and stronger action pieces that elevate the story. As the story unfolds, it becomes predictable, with familiar twists. The final showdown feels dragged out, and a tighter edit would've made for a stronger conclusion. Still, the message remains thought-provoking.

While not perfect, the film is a commendable attempt at something new in the mass film genre. It's a one-time watch for fans of high-octane action and dramatic twists. The sequel hint leaves room for more, but personally, it didn't spark much anticipation.

A very average commercial entertainer! Absolutely nothing new in the storyline, same old story of the main lead trying to be a super hero by saving the masses in complete disguise as Bagheera. He single-handedly does fight hundreds together hooligans backed by weapons, guns etc without getting himself hurt, a totally unrealistic picture to believe into. But as an action entertainer, quite an average one. Originally a Kannada movie dubbed in all South Indian languages. Available in Netflix, my ratings 5/10!
