Director Prashant Neel has crafted a masterpiece of a film with KGF. The first chapter of the film is a visually stunning gem of a film. It is a bold new film in Sandalwood that goes further than any other film in exploring the stunning magic of film making. It is a visual wonder and the impact the film makes on the viewer continues long after you have watched it. 

Every scene and every shot of the film is filled with stunning visuals. Each of the dialogues are measured and carries weight. Every character is devised with a purpose. 

The film goes back and forth from 1951 to 1981 to 2018. In 2018 an old journalist is narrating the story of a 1980s don. No one is ready to believe him as there is no single evidence to show that he even existed. The journalist's book is also banned. But he reveals a story that stuns everyone. 

A poor orphan boy goes to Bombay to make a livelihood. He grows up to become a don who kills many. He is sent to Bangalore on a task. He fails. Now he has to infiltrate a notorious gold mine controlled by a devilish villain to kill him. Does he succeed? Even if he succeeded he will only unleash bigger demons. 

Yash is stunning and has immense screen presence. He takes the film to another level with his acting. Neel has crafted every character to perfection. Srinidhi has a small presence in this part but makes a big impression. 

On the technical front the film is quite literally the best in Kannada so far. From the camera work to art direction, the film is stunning to say the least. The background score is another masterpiece. Each shot of the film showcases a grand visual. Anyone who watches the film will be tempted to watch it again.

Yes you read it right. There are two superheroes behind the hero of KGF Yash. Is it really true? Yes of course! Today KGF is on everyone's mouth. The grand film has caught the attention of film buffs everywhere. But Even before Yash's Mr & Mrs Ramachari was released and became a big hit, one person suggested a big budget film with Yash in the lead. 

It was none other than Prashant Neel, the first superhero. He had made a big name for himself with Ugramm and there were many actors who wanted to work with him. But Neel wanted to cast Yash in his film. Today everyone is talking about the music, art work, sets, grandeur and scale of KGF. One person had dreamt of it before anyone else and it was director Neel. He put together a team that worked for his vision. He motivated them by staying away from his home and family for five years day in and day out. Today the result is there for everyone to see. 

The second superhero of KGF is producer Vijay Kiragundur. Neel had the vision but Vijay had the heart and guts to back that vision. Who else could have backed a proposed Rs 40 crore project which was a budget never tried before in Kannada with a director who was only one film old? Vijay spared no expenses and no compromises were made. Even after the film was complete, he backed the idea to take the film to a national level. He was a brave heart in that respect. 

KGF was a team effort where everyone's sweat and blood was shed to make a big product. Along with the hero and hundreds of artistes and technicians were these two superheroes who remained behind the screen for most part of it.
