TORTURE
20 March 2023
I don't know what's wrong with KFI... All actors are mad behind Pan India release. Invest crores and give a KGF feel cinematography add Ravi Basrur BGM overhype the villains add mother sentiment and movie is ready. Story, screenplay, VFX does it synchronise to what you are showing doesn't matter just attract the audience with a high budget & so called Pan India movie will be ready. I really didn't had any expectations on R. Chandru coz we know how good is he in making movies... His past movies are classic examples of dabba direction. But what's wrong with Upendra?? Like Yash, Sudeep, Darshan he also want a multilanguage Pan India movie on his name? Ravi Basrur has exhausted with his music, he just repeats the same KGF style bgm in every movie it actually irritates. Editing and VFX are very poor it looks so fake in few scenes. At every scene a villain enters before getting a screen space he gets killed by hero. Let me be frank R. Chandru wanted to create a hype and want recognition like Prashant Neel but fact is he utterly failed and became a laughingstock. Atleast he should have done some homework, depth in story writing & screenplay. Upendra is a talented person but in these overhyped director story he has lost that authenticity. Sudeep & Shivanna doesn't have minimal screen presence... May be in part 2 they have much to do. In the end a humble request to KFI stop this Pan India stupidity just to fulfill your ego don't spoil the film industry. Let's stick to our language and if it's good everyone will watch now OTT flatforms has removed that language barrier.

Kranti (2023)
2/10
Same old wine in a new bottle.
31 January 2023
What's wrong with KFI??? One side we see new talents making some extraordinary movies which gets success allover India & global appreciation. On the other side senior star actors with high budget are making some trash. Kranti as the name says revolution & it's a revolution in education field... Private school mafia their fee structure, donation and how they loot poor. But this kind of story has been tried and tested n no.of times so nothing new. Darshan again picks the same story and adds nothing new to it... Yuvarathna did the same mistake. Nobody gives a solution they just showcase the loopholes which is known to every citizen. Harikrishna should stop direction coz it's not his cup of tea. No doubt he is a good music director & should concentrate more on music. Harikrishna is still in Yajamana hangover where he show cooking oil mafia exploiting farmers. Here it's education private schools. First half of the movie lags alot coz of slow screenplay, Darshan is repeating the same mistake again n again same kind of dialogue delivery, non-synchronised stunts, poor VFX literally makes the viewer laugh. He should come out of his comfort zone and experiment new stories. Same old mass masala where whole movie is hero based self centred story doesn't work. May be his fans will like whatever he does but there should be some limit. If it gets repeated Darshan's film career will be on stake nothing else.

Kantara (2022)
10/10
Masterpiece 😊😊😊
1 October 2022
What a movie... I was literally blown away by the dedication and acting of Rishabh Shetty. You need guts to pick the topic and execute in such a nice way. Mark my words this movie will get National Award. BGM, cinematography, direction and acting all were topnotch. Final 20 minutes of climax is unbelievable... never expected Rishabh Shetty got such an acting skill. Achyutha Kumar, Kishore acted really well... Daiva, kola, bootharadhane, kambala the classic culture of the Karavali Karnataka has been shown superbly. Goosebumps expected at every scene. Dont miss the climax its the core ot the movie.

Gaalipata 2 (2022)
1/10
An Utter Nonsense movie...
14 September 2022
My first request to Yograj Bhat please "QUIT" direction... In the name of movies he is serving trash. From past few years Yograj Bhat literally directed worst movies of KFI Parapancha, Dana Kayonu, Vastu Prakara, Panchatantra list goes on. Coming to this movie Gaalipata 2 its a senseless movie with no proper screenplay, storyline they just tried to showcase Yograj Bhat madness his irrelevant dailogues, songs with irritating lyrics. Yograj Bhat wants to mix satire with a sarcasm on everything what he does but it irritates at one point of time & Gaalipata 2 has crossed that limit (Panchatantra was another worst example) Every 10 mins you can see a song here which has no relevance with the story... most illogical, unrealistic story lineup with meaningless comedy. Hero character gropes, stalks, misbehaves with heroine but its shown as love chemistry between them. My god Pawan Kumar how did he accepted the character? He has shown as a lover boy In romantic songs, acting, dancing his expression looks so dumb 😂 Diganth was OK... Ganesh & Anantnag were good at their acting but again when he see them in Yograj Bhat movies it feels nothing has changed same Mungarumale style of movie making, rain, clouds, mountain. From cinematography, framework, editing, narration, dailogues everything is same... You actually get confused am I watching a regular Yograj Bhat movie of 10yrs back or new movie of 2022.

2 Stars for VFX
9 September 2022
Had lot of hopes on this movie... but all went in vain. There were lot of negative reviews & call for boycott for this movie but i ignored that and expected atleast there will be some content and story in the movie coz 5 yrs of hardwork will give some result but looks like they have spent money only for VFX. Get a good story lineup, screen play then work on music, visuals etc. They have inserted a love story in a science fiction movie which will give few good songs but it totally disconnects with the story. Wakeup bollywood ppl are already fed up with you & In the name of high budget movie you serve this trash nobody gonna accept. I feel ppl anger towards bollywood is genuine & bollywood itself is moving towards the decline. When we ask for content... they move towards South remake and ruin a good content based movie completely by adding bollywood masala. When you have a good budget get a good story writer, screenplay especially a good director who have a vision to showcase that on screen... dont serve a movie in the name of VFX.

Three Stars for Pankaj Tripathi!!!
9 September 2022
Which idiot gave you the idea of uploading 1 episode per week??? In this day to day life i hardly remember anything happened couple of days back and you ppl want me to remember a suspense thriller webseries episode for a week?? Come on guys every week lot of movie, webseries gets released in OTT flatform which viewers binge-watch in a single day. How can someone watch a suspense thriller series one episode a week?? If thats the case suspense dies. I literally forget the plot & suspense that intensity while watching 2nd or 3rd episode after weeks... can't go back again rewind & then watch current episode & again wait for a week. I dont even think "Adura Sach" deserves that... story lags alot, many loopholes immature acting makes it boring. If you give a week gap... ppl will pick the loopholes & mistakes easily. I have decided to stop watching this series at episode 4... sorry lost the interest.

Cringe Fest 😂😂😂
13 August 2022
What the hell is wrong with Ravichandran... he still not learning his mistakes. Drishyam 1 & 2 was good coz they literally remake a movie as it is. What was wrong with Joseph??? This is the worst remake and made just to hype "Ravichandran" and his lover boy character. He is 61 guys his romance looks cringe on the screen... Yakro olle movie & story nim ego, buildupgoskara haal madthira?? If you watch Joesph then avoid this. I pity on KFI especially Ravichandran.

Too boring!!!
5 August 2022
Actually movie had a good concept and could have build a good story. But director lacks in all aspects from direction to screenplay and most non synchronised dubbing. They have shown Sagara and Sharavathi river nearby places beautifully but may be due to budget constraint & inexperienced actors screenplay looks very dull. Only Diganth is quite watchable... Ranjani Raghavan is a talented actress but she didnt had much scope. Aindritay Ray 😐😐 OMG quit acting lady please... she cant even give a proper expression and she need a dubbing artist which makes more unrealistic in her acting.

Vikrant Rona (2022)
3/10
Very disappointed
4 August 2022
Just another high budget Rangitharanga... You need to wait for an year for this overhyped movie??? Then audience time and patience is really tested here. Anup Bhandari is good in making suspense thriller coz Rajaratha (comedy) was a disaster. So i think he just wanted to showcase his first success Rangitharanga on a larger budget with high vfx n rich set. Vikrant Rona was totally unrealistic with the suspense & thriller they wanted to serve. I mean those set, songs background it all looks so unreal & you forcefully insert a suspense thriller story in a fantasy world it will be a disaster. And what was the need of 3D?? Sudeep tried to experiment himself here but i think he failed miserably... He is only good at remaking movies in Kannada and showcasing his character very well i think it will reach more audience & they may like him for that. Being a Kannada audience who wait for this Pan India, high budget, overhyped, big starcast, most awaited movie and in the end we come out of the theatre with confusion what the hell we just watched & for this we waited for years???

Window Seat (2022)
2/10
Lost the plot by poor direction !!!
8 July 2022
It could have been a good suspense thriller movie, but low bgm, poor screenplay editing & mediocre direction made it an utter boring movie. If the same movie was directed by Anup Bhandari, Rishabh, Raj or Rakshith Shetty impact would have been different. I think this script is made by anyone among those directors & Sheethal Shetty tried to direct but she lost in portraying the screenplay effectively. Movie lags alot, some characters like comedian Sooraj doesnt make any sense to the character he actually irritate by his overacting. Some scenes doesnt connect to eachother, thats why it lags & suspense thriller shouldn't lag... coz of that viewer will lose the interest. They tried to make a next Rangitharanga and failed miserably Nirup Bhandari acting was OK but other characters like Ravishankar didnt had any relevance & his screen presence was very limited... they could have used him throughout the movie as a psychologist. If this story is really written by Sheethal Shetty then she can be a good writer... direction is not her cup of tea.

Finest sequel in recent time!!!
17 April 2022
One of the better sequel or chapter 2 after Drishyam.

Toughest part for any director is continuing a same story in second chapter. When expectations are high they need to deliver a movie with strong story lineup... KGF2 has almost succeeded and gave a perfect sequel. I watched KGF1... for the first half i got bored but story opened up after 2nd half but in KGF2 story took pace in first half but lagged in second half. Overall a good movie... a hero oriented mass movie. I like the way of narration & story connecting to the sequence. Prashant Neel has a unique way of story telling hatsoff to his direction and Yash acting is fabulous, he carries an attitude look n style throughout the movie. Cinematography is awesome BGM looks overloaded sometimes it overlaps & irritating but editing was really bad compared to KGF1 fight & chasing scenes were worstly edited. All characters in the movie were up to the mark but Sanjay Dutt was literally unwanted to this movie Adheera character could have been done by some other actors from south who is famous for villain character like Jagapathi Babu or any other actor. Sanjay Dutt couldn't connect to the story, just his looks n style were good as a villain.

Go without any expectation... you will definitely like the movie.

Don't miss the twist in the end & initial narration of Prakash Raj its interconnected. Thank you 😊

Perfectly ruined series
23 March 2022
Firstly stop those fake reviews... just sort by review date & filter by rating you will get a series of fake reviews with username ending with "toz". Now coming to the review part... 2 stars for Arunoday Singh atleast he tried something but weak script and worst dialogues with irrelevant romance scenes made the series horrible. Season 1 was OK atleast there was some thriller & suspense. Season 2 every dialogue ends with either mc bc or bsdk arre yaar without gaali & sex Ekta Kapoor cant make a webseries? And who told Uttarakhand ppl will speak bhojpuri? Add some gaali+sex and make a crap story and sell it in the name of webseries thats the trend followed by Ekta.

Badava Rascal (2021)
3/10
Same old story... nothing new.
18 January 2022
Just a below average movie... dont go with fake reviews on google. Its neither too good nor too bad. You can laugh for some comedy scenes of Rangayana Raghu and Nagabhushan. Nothing new in the story... hero loves heroine her mom is against their love in the end hero overcomes the obstacle and marry her. These kind of stories are common from 1970's... just they added some humour. Auto & cab drivers are highlighted more which is nothing to do with the storyline. Hero oriented movie so punch dialogues & fight scenes are common. Smoking & drinking are too much highlighted which could have been avoided. Its produced by Dhananjay so people are appreciating his effort. If same movie was done by some other other actor it would have been an utter flop coz of weak story.

Aarya (2020– )
7/10
Only for Sushmita Sen ☺☺☺
17 December 2021
Let me applause Sushmita Sen for her finest acting, she actually lived the character Aarya. After season 1 expectation were high and season 2 partially reached what expected. "Who needs enemies when you have family like this" thats the storyline of Aarya. Season 2 was more dramatic and less thriller... Yes its a family drama with crime and thriller mixed. There were few flaws & story bit dragged which could have been avoided but overall it was good. Sushmita Sen acting was the main highlight and with an average script she really saved the series. Would expect season 3 with more intensive storyline and thriller.

Another propaganda based movie !!!
10 December 2021
I really like Suriya and his acting, from Ghajini to recent Soorarai Pottru i enjoyed his movie. But this movie was made with unwanted controversies. Movie is based on real incident... fine, then show as it happened why you change the religion? The movie tried to portray discrimination experienced by the unprivileged class of society... It's a good thought. But in the real incident (based which this movie was made) the sub inspector was a Christian but in the movie his character was modified into an upper caste man. Why Anthony Das becomes Guru here? All other main character names are retained. The original characters have been intentionally replaced to target specific communities who are against the Surya's favorite Ruling party. Only because their minority appeasement will come to stake or there will be a question mark on their so called secularism ideology. The moment I saw Periyar (person who was believed to fight against discrimination, but filled with hatred towards hindu traditions) I was disgusted. This movie is made to create hate towards certain communities which was unnecessary.

Nice way of story narration with native touch.
24 November 2021
Good movie... finally a native story told in the way it should be. We have watched many kannada gangster based movies either it relates to in & around bangalore or old mysore region. Me being a mangalorean watched & liked it too but this movie narration is bit different & story revolves inside Mangalore... many people didnt like the movie coz they couldn't relate to the story and its nativity. Kannada gangster based movies will revolve around love failure, cable or oil mafia, land or real estate based, if we consider North Karnataka it may be mines, liquor lobby etc and shows how a gangster is borm & how he died. Same way when you consider Mangalore small things builds a rivalry like Dasara Pili vesha, tablo procession, Korida Katta (Cockfighting) Cricket tournaments from chappal stand to a flower shop tender outside a temple creates a fight and rivalry which leads to murder also... So every place has its own story. More movies should be made like this & should be explained in native style so people can understand more in upcoming days.

Could have been better
14 November 2021
Season 1 was really good... So obviously expectations will be high. Young Himmat character was not so much promising... Aftab did a good job but he had very less scope of acting. Still there were lot of loopholes in the story it wasnt gripping and there wasnt any thriller... screenplay was bit weak some scenes could have been shown more precisely. It was a miniseries thank god director didnt drag the story... and limited it for 4 episodes. Govt officials, ministers, defence officers are honey trapped and most important thing investing officer Himmat himself is a victim of honey trap. Eagerly waiting for Special Ops 2 were we can see a full pledge series with a logic end.

Nice movie.... Must watch!!!
23 October 2021
Mothers love is always unconditional... beautifully written script. It teaches human relationship & values, a mother-son sentiment with a thin layer of comedy. Umashree as always impress with her incredible acting & Dhananjay was equally good. Thank god it released in OTT in theatres it would have struggled with mass hero movies. Ratnan Prapancha is far better than so called mass hero buildup movies.

Good storyline with low budget.
29 September 2021
What happens when you have a good story line with lack of budget? You will get Seetharam Benoy. No over buildup hero entry, no mass fight bla bla bla whatever you say a movie that too a suspense thriller should have some basic elements which should make it worth a watch. You will feel exhausted after watching it for 2.5hrs and feel story was good but something was missing. Cast selection was pathetic... except Vijay Raghavendra other characters dont even know ABCD of acting. His wife character, police constables, old couple whose house was about to be robbed, Binoy the main villain character & his pregnant wife, other inspectors of different police stations all these character lack basic acting skills. For a suspense thriller movie you should have a gripping screenplay and a strong background score which makes movie more interesting that was missing here. Cinematography was weak suspense movie need a dark & light color variation.... all these aspects were missing may because of budget constraint. Atleast give sub-inspector uniform to the hero... its clearly visible a constable uniform with two stars on shoulder. Those who say its very realistic movie, No its not... lack of budget makes you feel its realistic. Its not even based on real incidents so its a fiction so atleast a good star cast would have saved this movie.

Candy (2021– )
2/10
Crime Patrol got some suspense than CANDY!!!
21 September 2021
I think Voot worked hard to get some positive reviews on IMDB. Some twists and turns makes story to watch till the end, If you are a fan of suspense thriller then Candy will disappoint you. From first 2 episodes we can guess the storyline who is Masaan. Manu Rishi Chadha acting was good as a politician, Masaan the ghost appearance is really scary but Ronit Roy asthmatic dialogue delivery & Richa Chadha acting was pathetic. She is good at Bholi Punjaban not a cop... her english accent ruins the character same like Inside Edge. Other characters in the story lacks acting skills, Ronit Roy wife character gives me depression... Could have been better with cast selection. Few characters example Kalki her pathetic acting skills ruins the whole script... with some fake reviews you cant make a webseries hit. Season 2 with Kalki character as lead role will really give nightmares.

The Family Man (2019– )

Worth a watch
6 June 2021
I am writing review after watching complete season. Good series... After first season I was eagerly waiting for this. As always Manoj Bajpayee shines with his matured acting but highlight of the story is Samantha. Henceforth people will recognize her as Raji... She portrayed a Tamil Srilankan rebel character so well, that Srilankan tamil accent, tough rebel look was incredible. Story carries same pace throughout the episodes... South India is shown as it is, no fake accents like "Ayyo, kyaji, amma, appa, thambi" etc. Half of the series conversation is in Tamil which makes the story look real... being a south indian i dont feel it hurts any langauge or sentiments. What happens when rebels are misused by a terrorist organisation is showcased in the series.

Same old wie in a new bottle
14 April 2021
Expected alot from this movie... wanted to watch this movie in theatres but watched on Amazon Prime. Really pathetic movie, Its a same old wine in a new bottle. Movie revolves around only Puneeth and his heroism & he is everywhere... He single handedly face the system & education problems & solves it. Really? It's such a sensitive issue and atleast they could have given a logical solution. Whats wrong with KFI all actors are concentrating on heroism & buildup movies, After KGF... KFI heroes are behind high budget and Pan India release coz they dont want themselves to be sidelined in the competition. If their movies are bad still they just want to create an hype and sell it to audience. I remember Doddamane Hudga movie, after having brilliant starcast, good director and lot of hype and promotion allover Karnataka it failed miserably. Same happened with Yuvarathna... It has amazing starcast like Sudharani, Achyuth Kumar, Dhananjay, Diganth, Prakashraj, Avinash, Saikumar, Boman Irani, Rangayana Raghu, Prakash Belawadi, Vasishta Simha, Sadhu Kokila omg so many versatile actors. I literally feel so many big actors were not at all reqd and they had very little to act so piling up all famous actors in one movie makes it puzzled & with over hype promos all over Karnataka, socialmedia buzz this movie had nothing. But only over buidup dialogues of hero, using RajKumar family name for each and everytime for no reason, fight scenes for every 15mins... heroine for namesake. What the hell these kind of movie making is outdated, now i understood why Dia & Lovemocktail got success coz it was neat & simple and people want simple movies not hifi, high budget, over buildup heroism movies. Growup KFI leave your self ego and make some good movies which will reach viewers in a simple way.

Over hype!!!
11 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Same old revenge story, over buildup dialogues, fights with zero logic. Last month Pogaru this month Robert no difference... creating hype for years and making a same old masala movie has been a habit of Kannada stars & directors. Once we feel KFI is giving some good movies which competes with other South & Bollywood movies and suddenly some big stars come with trash just to fulfill their ego. This movie has nothing difft from old Darshan movies, Only difference is now directors has learnt how to create hype and fool the audience, if not fans will definitely create a hype 😁

Worst Movie
31 July 2020
Whats wrong with bollywood??? Without any masala they cant make a biopic? Misson Mangal was ruined with same drama... Why everything have to be so dramatic? Learn from "The Man Who Knew Infinity" Not watching this movie will be a real tribute to Shakuntala Devi.
