Salaar Will Get You "On The Edge Of Your Seats": Reviews Are Out
Prashanth Neel helmed Salaar hit the silver screen today. The Prabhas starrer is an action-packed massive movie. The Prithviraj and Prabhas starrer is said to be a feast for the fans. Prasanth Neel has packed elements of political drama with high actions and brotherhood by wrapping the masterful story inside a dystopian world. The movie explores genre blending with classical narratives. Prabhas, Prithviraj, Shruthi Hassan and Jagapathi Babu aced their roles.
As per the review from Times of India, in Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, Prashanth Neels takes an “unconventional route in narrating the dystopian world and its characters”. Prabhas portrayed his ability in balancing raw aggression with subtle emotional nuances. Prithviraj Sukumaran has portrayed Vardha with vulnerability and determination with his own strategic calculations. According to the review, Salaar deals with “complexities of political machination and personal allegiances by offering a compelling commentary on power struggles”. While the movie is said to entertain and impress audience with its scale, it might demand patience in the initial stages of the movie since it is mainly establishing the world of Khansar.
NDTV reports Salaar had “mind-numbing power of unrelenting violence is on full display”, and all the blood-letting in the movie has left a “somniferous effect” on the audience. The review said that Prashanth Neel has created a piece of work that thrives on piling “words upon words, sounds upon sounds, and images upon images” without allowing the audience any time to think. The pace of the movie is also the “selling point” of the movie since it manages to pass the “dizzying momentum” as the integral part of the movie’s design. “Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran are the main draws” of the movie, NDTV added.
India Today wrote that Prashanth Neel has once again proven his talent in “world-building”. The film maker “just transports you to a new world and keeps you involved with multiple storylines”, with Khansar, it reads. While the cinematography, colour tone, editing and music might remind one about KGF, which was a blockbuster, Salaar has no connection with the Yash-starrer, adds India Today. The review said though the story might not be new, Neel has managed to take an interesting route to keep his story flowing. The brilliantly choreographed climax actions get the audience “on the edge of your seats”.
