I have seen the Original, so I didn't have any Suspense factor watching the Movie. But, I certainly feel the Movie is very rushed in nature as if Akshay Kumar had 1 Week for shooting this Movie. Rakul Preet does what Bollywood expect their Actress to do, Just look Gorgeous & fall in Love with the Lead Actor immediately.

With OTT penetration nowadays, I wonder why Bollywood rely on Copying when People can watch the Original easily with Subtitles.

Even the Climax feels like the Killer was just waiting to start narrating his Back Story as soon as Akshay Kumar recognise him.

Sorry Bollywood, We deserve better than a rushed Copy-Paste Version of a Movie available easily for anyone to watch.

KGF is a One-Time Watch. KGF is a Fine Example of Marketing Strength in Film Industry. A Young Boy wants to be Rich & his Journey from Childhood to KGF (Gold Mine) is traced in Part 1. Lots of Characters, Lot of Production Budget, Lots of Style Yet IMDb Rating of 8.2. Shows how Manipulative & Powerful is Today's Digital World.

Putting in Perspective, 1. Lead Actor: Honestly, If Growing Hair & Beard is Acting, then Sure "Yash Acting Was Superb". But, Yash was Stylish. That's the end !!! There wasn't much Acting required by Yash as was Style & Yash delivers on Style. 2. Actress & Songs: Actress are mere Audience Demand & Actor Ego Display in most Indian Movies & KGF isn't any Exception. The Lead Actress has no sense of Acting & it doesn't take a Drunkard to impress a High Society Girl as the Drunkard can beat 50 People without any scratch & has a "Sad" Backstory. Songs are placed for Style & does nothing to the Movie. 3. StoryLine: Almost Nil. Just enough Points to have sufficient Songs & Fight Scenes for Yash to engage in Style, Sorry Acting. 4. Production: High. Like Prabhas's Saaho, Money wasn't a concern & Production Values reflect Money Well Spent. 5. Direction: Good. Along with Production Values, Direction was directed towards Style. 6. Practicality: Zero. Fight Scenes & 1 Guy getting no Bullets yet his Bullets hitting many & Typical Macho Fight Scenes.

KGF is Overrated at 8.2 in IMDb. Reminds me of Saaho yet KGF is a Gold Mine as compared to Saaho, which was a Disaster. 1 Time Watch & Entertaining.

Feels with Shoojit felt any Movie can be pulled off by acting prowess. Everyone in the Film acted absolutely best, yet we frequently get the sensation of where's the Story is going & whether it's another Ayushman Movie which is over-hyped (Like his last 02 ventures). To be honest, We can't watch a 120 Minute Movie just for Amitabh Sir acting as good as he has done lately & appreciate the Make-Up.

Overall, 6.5. Yet going with 7 as I can't expect more Performance Wise from the Actors.

CONs: Highly Dramatic Ending, Over-reliance on Amitabh Sir, 20 Minutes Lengthy.
