Rocky, a young man who grows up in poverty, rises through the ranks of the underworld in Mumbai before being sent on a mission to assassinate a powerful gold mine owner in Kolar Gold Fields. As he enters a world ruled by fear and power, his journey begins to reshape the fate of those around him.

K.G.F: Chapter 1 (2018)

Times of India

India Today

Rocky is an ambitious boy, who wants to die as the richest and most powerful man. From the streets of Bombay to the fields of KGF, he embarks on the mission. And his tale is being retold by a journalist who chronicled his life in the 1980s.
Prashanth Neel's KGF, which stars Yash in the lead, has become arguably the most spoken about Kannada film nationally. The expectations have been enormous. Does the team deliver? Yes, they do. The film has a fast-paced first half, which does seem a little long, but the second half and the climax sets up the right premise for the second part of the film.
The screenplay is the most interesting part of the film. The non-linear pattern keeps the viewers engaged, with the growth of Rocky being shown in a steady fashion. While there are a fair share of scenes and dialogues that bring out the hoots and cheers from the masses, the makers have still maintained a clever story telling pattern that assures one to also keep pace with the narrative. The film traverses from 1951 to 2018, while maintaining a sense of curiosity as each character is unveiled.
Adding the extra edge to the film are the cinematography, art direction and the locales. Everything looks top notch and one is often left spellbound at the scenes. Be it the dark dreary world in KGF to the more glitzy nightlife scenes in Bangalore, all of them are shown beautifully. Yash, as Rocky, lives his character to the fullest and his screen presence definitely has the viewers cheering alongside him. The ensemble cast play their respective parts, with each of them playing minor building blocks in setting up Rocky's character.
The narrative in the first part builds the character of Rocky as the maverick mastermind who will not stop for anything until he reaches his mission. While there is a sense of temporary closure in the first chapter of the film, one also leaves the hall yearning for more. KGF surely seems to have delivered what it set to achieve.

Kannada star Yash is completely new to Kollywood. But the support that his film KGF got in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi made sure that KGF had the potential to be a great film in multiple languages.KGF did manage to surprise the audience with its brilliant 'mass' sequences and its fascinating story. However, the film looks so dragged and over-stretched that viewers lose patience.

The gangster film's story is about a young boy named Rocky, who wants to achieve greatness by thrashing goons ruthlessly. Yash feels this way because his family, which is hit by poverty, couldn't enjoy even the simplest of things, let alone saving the life of his mother. At her deathbed, Rocky's mother asks him to die only once he is famous, so that people know who he is. The story of KGF then goes on to trace how Rocky becomes invincible.

Director Prashanth Neel's story is fascinating to listen to and the impressive visuals add to the film's intensity. However, the film moves at lightning speed and you seem to lose track of what is happening in the world of KGF.

In the first half, a dozen characters are introduced and it's all confusing to follow. In addition to that, every scene is cut in such a way that it moves forward within a few milliseconds, which is definitely not pleasant on the eyes. Add to it the film's ridiculous Tamil dubbed dialogues, which spoil the intense moments at times.

Yash owns the film and shoulders KGF with his extraordinary performance. You take a look at him and instantly you know that this guy will do the impossible and pull people out of their misery.
In several interviews, Yash has repeatedly said that SS Rajamouli's Baahubali inspired him to distribute KGF in different languages. Even though KGF has a universal theme, it gets lost in translation, thanks to sloppy editing and atrocious dialogues.
These dialogues do not make the kind of impact it should, which is one of the disappointing factors in KGF. Also, the first half of KGF is spent entirely on establishing Rocky as the powerful don, again and again.

A major portion of KGF also preaches how ruthless the people ruling the Kolar Gold Fields are. Rocky uses his intelligence to become the messiah of people suffering in the Kolar Gold Fields.

A gangster drama like KGF doesn't require a heroine who falls in love with the rowdy hero at all. Her portions don't add any value to the story. There are many such scenes which slow down the pace of the film.

The editing by Srikanth is incoherent; especially the transition between Rocky's flashback and present portions. The screen blacks out every few minutes and you get a headache sitting through it.

KGF had some brilliantly choreographed stunt sequences that will wow you. The slo-mo shots used in the action blocks elevate the feel of the movie. Especially, the well-shot climax scene. So much so, that you're in awe of Rocky.

Director Prashanth Neel's KGF starring Yash is a riveting gangster drama that goes wrong in many places, says our review.
