K.G.F: Chapter 1 is a 2018 Indian Kannada-language period action film[5][6] written and directed by Prashanth Neel, and produced by Vijay Kiragandur under the banner Hombale films. It is the first installment in the two-part series, followed by K.G.F: Chapter 2. The film centers around Raja Krishnappa Bairya "Rocky", born into poverty, who arrives in Bombay (now Mumbai) in the 1960s, on a quest for power and wealth as desired by his dying mother. Involved with the gold mafia there, he is recruited to kill Garuda, the oppressive heir-in-waiting, in Kolar Gold Fields. Yash stars as Rocky, while Ramachandra Raju features as Garuda. Anant Nag narrates the film while also playing a supporting role alongside Srinidhi Shetty, Vasishta N. Simha, Ayyappa P. Sharma and Harish Roy.

The development of the film began in early 2015 when Neel completed writing the screenplay.[7] However, filming began only two years later, in March 2017.[8] Majority of the film is set in Kolar Gold Fields and was filmed on location.[9] Bhuvan Gowda served as the cinematographer and Shrikanth as the editor. Ravi Basrur scored music for the soundtrack and the film's background.[10]

After a North American premiere on 20 December 2018, K.G.F: Chapter 1 was released in Kannada and in dubbed versions of Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam languages the following day, and received positive response from audiences.[11] However, critics gave the film mixed reviews; while they praised the cinematography, art direction and background score on the film, the screenplay and editing were criticized. The film performed well commercially and collected ₹80 crore four days into release, in the process breaking the record for the highest grossing Kannada film of all time.[12]

The film has been shot in Kolar, Bengaluru, Mysuru and Bagalkot. "In our upcoming schedules, we plan on visiting Kolkata, Mumbai and Ladakh as well, apart from more shoots in Mysuru and Bengaluru," said Karthik.[citation needed]

KGF was released in five languages. It is a complete period drama and is set in the 70s and early 80s. Yash plays the role of Rocky, a slick and a suave person of the 70s era. Apart from Yash and Srinidhi, some of the Kannada actors include Ananthnag,Malavika Avinash,Achyuth Kumar, Vasishta N Simha[18] and B Suresha. Ramya Krishna and Nasser are expected to join in later schedules.[19] A technical team, which includes cinematographer Bhuvan Gowda, music director Ravi Basrur and art director Shivakumar, have worked towards creating the ambience and look of the era.[citation needed] The teaser of KGF was released on the Yash birthday (8 January 2018). The trailer was released on 9 November 2018.[20][21][22]

Soundtrack

Main article: K.G.F: Chapter 1 (soundtrack)

Ravi Basrur composed the music and background, while Tanishk Bagchi remastered the track "Gali Gali" from Tridev (1989) for the film's Hindi version.[23] Lahari Audio, that acquired the rights for ₹3.6 crore, a record sum for any South Indian film, distributed the soundtrack album into the market.[24] All versions of the first track of the album, "Salaam Rocky Bhai", was released on 4 December 2018.[25]

Release and reception

K.G.F: Chapter 1 received U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification in early December 2018.[26][27] The distribution rights for the Kannada version were bought by KRG Studios, a sister company of the film's studio Hombale Films. While Excel Entertainment and AA Films bought rights for the Hindi version, the Tamil version's rights were sold to Vishal Film Factory, Telugu to Vaaraahi Chalana Chitram and Malayalam to Global United Media.[28][29] The film was released in the U.S. and Canada on 20 December 2018 and in India the following day.[30] The day also saw releases in parts of Africa, Hong Kong and parts of Eastern Europe including Cyprus, the first in these regions for a Kannada film.[31] It was reported that the film would be released in 1,800–2,200 screens worldwide, the widest ever release for a Kannada film.[32][33][34] However, it was later reported that the film was released in 2,460 screens, that included 1,500 for the Hindi version, 400 each for Kannada and Telugu, 100 for Tamil and 60 for Malayalam.[35]

Critical reception

Upon theatrical release, K.G.F: Chapter 1 received positive response from audiences while critics gave the film mixed reviews.[36][37] While its cinematography, art direction, narration, stunt sequences, background score and acting performances received unanimous acclamation from the critics, they directed criticism and praise at the screenplay, dialogues and editing in equal measure.

Reviewing for Deccan Herald, Vivek M. V. felt that that the "grandeur" lay in the film's "fantastically gripping story". He wrote praises of the film's narration, its "brilliant" editing and "riveting sequences".[38] Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India gave the film rating of three-and-a-half out of five and wrote that it had a "fast-paced first half ... but the second half and the climax sets up the right premise for the second part of the film." She called the screenplay narrated in a "non-linear" fashion the "most interesting part of the film". She commended the performance as Yash in that he "lives his character to the fullest".[39] Troy Ribeiro of News18 echoed her sentiment and wrote, "Yash's endurance, strife and sincerity ... get projected as perfunctory" in the context of "tight close-ups and mid-shots the camera stops us from getting emotionally connected to" every actor in the film. He further wrote, "With intense atmospheric lighting, every frame in the film looks aesthetic and natural. Brilliant cinematography and equally challenging action sequences are put together with razor-sharp edits. They give the film a racy pace."[40] The reviewer for Hindustan Times, Priyanka Sundar, called the film a "story of greed and redemption" and remarked that it "burns bright". While praising the "promising" background score, "sharp" editing and "stunning" visuals, she felt that the screenplay could have been "tighter".[41]

Janani K. of India Today felt the film was "dragged and over-stretched" and gave it a three out of five star rating. While she commended Yash's "extraordinary performance" and the "brilliantly choreographed stunt sequences", she wrote that despite having "universal theme, [the film] gets lost in translation, thanks to sloppy editing and atrocious dialogues."[42] Subha J. Rao of Firstpost gave the film a similar rating and praised the film's music, cinematography and art direction; particularly the latter in "bringing alive the grime and heat of the gold mines". However, she felt "[t]ighter editing ... would have smoothened out the kinks" in the film.[43] Shashiprasad S. M. of Deccan Chronicle scored the film a two-and-a half out of five star rating and described the film as "a visual spectacle". Barring that, he felt it fell short of "instilling the much needed life into it."[44] Karthik Keramalu of Film Companion felt that the film fell short "becoming a great movie by a long mile". He dismissed the dialogues delivered by Yash's character as "lengthy sermon about his own valour", while also criticizing the film's editing.[45]

Excepting what he described the film's climax as "spectacular with the support of a brilliant cast" and "spot on" sets and location, Muralidhara Khajane of The Hindu felt there was "nothing in the film that we have not seen before". While writing that "[t]here is a certain finesse to the edgy, moody cinematography", he concluded that the film lacked a "soul, a believable story and a rounded protagonist."[46] Manoj Kumar R. of The Indian Express scored the film two-and-a half out of five stars and deemed it "[a]n overstretched exercise in hero worship". While drawing comparisons of certain scenes to those from Baahubali, he felt the film had a "flimsy storyline", which he added is made up for by "terrific background orchestra".[47] Also writing for the same news publication, Shubhra Gupta drew comparisons of the film in plot to those of Nayakan, Deewaar, Parinda in its first half. She felt that the film had "nothing more" than "striking cinematography, and the brown and sepia colours which suffuse the screen".[48]
