Movie Review- Salaar: Weak and confusing storyline, Prabhas has countless dialogues; Prashant Neel failed to show the magic of KGF

Prabhas's most awaited film Salaar has been released today. We will review this film. The length of the film is 2 hours 52 minutes. Dainik Bhaskar has given the film a 3 out of 5 star rating.

What is the story of the film?
Like KGF, the story of Salaar also starts from a fantasy world. The life of Aadhya (Shruti Hassan), who has returned from America, is in danger. Aadhya runs away and hides in a woman's house. That woman is Deva i.e. Prabhas's mother. Deva saves him from those goons. Gradually Aadhya comes to know the truth about Deva and her family.

The story moves to the world of 'Khansar' in the second half. Khansar is a place where people live in a separate world. They do not consider themselves part of the country. They have their own army. Even the British kneel before him. After independence, there is king's rule there.

After the death of the king, the fight for the throne begins. Rajamannar (Jagapathi Babu) becomes king through deceit. For this he gets the entire colony of his rivals killed. Although some of them survive. Rajamannar's son Vardha and Deva are friends since childhood. Deva wants to make Vardha the king in the future, for this he also fights with the enemies. Although Deva also has a connection with Throne of Khansar, now to know what that connection is, you will have to watch the film.

Bahubali star Prabhas is once again seen in ultra action mode.

How is the acting of the star cast?
Prabhas has not been able to give his 100% since Baahubali. Something similar was seen in this film also. He has numerous dialogues in the entire film. Many sequences pass without saying a single word. He has definitely tried to impress a bit in action. There are some scenes in which the mouth can remain open. However, as of today, even these cannot be called the best.

Prithviraj Sukumaran's performance in the role of Vardha is satisfactory. Contrary to the trailer, his character in the film has been kept very weak. Although she has done justice to her role. Shruti Hassan has got very less screen time.

This is a pan India release film. The film has been released in five languages.

How is the direction?
The audience was hopeful that director Prashant Neel would be able to recreate the magic of KGF. However, here he seems to have failed completely. He has not been able to get the best out of any actor including Prabhas. In the first half he has kept the story completely confusing. He has definitely tried to get the car back on track in the second half.

Sepia mode is often seen in Prashant Neel's films. His films look a little dark on the screen. The same has been seen in Salar also. The director has made good use of VFX.

Prashant Neel (centre) has directed both the films of the KGF series.

How is the music?
The BGM of the film is very simple. In today's time, where a lot of work is being done on background music, it was completely missing in this film. The background music of KGF is still discussed today. The BGM of Salaar is nowhere near this.

Final Verdict, watch or not
Prabhas fans can watch this film once. The audience might be hoping that some new action sequences and thrillers will be seen in the film. They will definitely be disappointed.
