KGF Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 are Kannada language movies from Karnataka – a Southern state of India. The KGF is an acronym for Kolar Gold Fields; since 1881, Kolar has been a significant gold mining centre.
This Indian masala movie tells the story of Rocky – an ambitious criminal who snatches and takes control of the rich gold mining business. And then with the passage of time, Rocky becomes an all-powerful and dominant force in the world of crime. These two films – Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 are India’s full-course hot masala films.

KGF Chapter 1 (2018) movie:- short review
This typical masala movie from Southern India is deliciously spicy and I loved it. This is the dawn of a new era in the world of the Indian movie industry, wherein the movies as well as series in South Indian languages are being well received by viewers from other parts of India. Nowadays blockbusters like this film from Karnataka are doing so well in North Indian states. This movie has an almost perfect mix of romance and action drama.

तलवार चला कर खून बहा कर, जंग लड़ना तबाही नहीं, तरक्की होती है!

उसमें लाशें भी बेकार नहीं जाती, चाहिए तो गिद्धों से पूछ ले!
The swing of a sword and the splash of blood in a battle is not to destroy, but to progress!
The fallen corpses there are useful too. If you are in doubt, ask the vultures!

Rocky (Yash) survives the attack by Vanaram’s guards after killing Garuda. He is a hero and a saviour to the people of Narachi. While trying to fulfil his promise to his mother, he must face many obstacles in the form of Adheera (Sanjay Dutt), Inayat Khalil and Ramika Sen (Raveena Tandon).
KGF Chapter 2 (2022) movie:- short review
I like the fact that with this film, its creators have tried to expand the geographical reach of the movie by roping in popular Hindi movie actors like Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon with pan-India appeal. And it has worked to its advantage, as it became a blockbuster once again. Not to forget the fact they continued to use a similar and successful movie template in its Chapter 2 too, as they did in its Chapter 1 in the past. Another enjoyable and money’s worth (paisa-vasool as we say in Hindi in India) movie from Karnataka.
