The Depth of your struggle will determine your height of success, according to folklore. Many people work hard each and every day but still couldn’t get success due to different reasons. They don't believe in themselves, they feel depressed and certainly give up.When we have faith in ourselves we don’t stop trying and surely one day we get what we want, just as Rocky the protagonist of the movie “KGF CHAPTER-2”.

It was filmed in 2019. The film was directed by Prashanth Neel and produced by Vijay Kiragandur in 2017. It is a sequel to KGF-Chapter 1, which was released on December 29, 2018. Rocky, starring Rocking Star Yash (Naveen Kumar Gowda), is revealed not only as a character, but also as a rock star in the film. To put it another way, Yash looks nothing like what you might have seen in other films, with the exception of KGF Chapter-1. I'll get to that later; for now, let me go over the plot of the film. Let's get started.

The movie starts with Rocky taking control of the KGF which was totally unexpected by the business partners of Garuda. Suryavardhan has only opened one mine among nine present in KGF (Kolar Gold Fields). Rocky opens up all the mines present in KGF and increases the number of enemies against him. Soon the main antagonist Adheera entry happens in the movie. He brings down Rocky and his KGF. But soon there is a strong comeback of him. Those things which were left unexplained in Chapter 1 are detailed in this movie. Similarly, a mother's love and emotions are presented beautifully. At the end Rocky’s Death has been shown although there’s also a teaser at last that KGF Chapter 3 would be made very soon.

If we talk about the themes present in the movie. Then they are mother’s love, leadership, struggle, faith, change, love, suspense and mystery. The scenes of Rocky’s Mother(Archana Jois) were not many in the movie. But still the songs, the dialogues and the whole story was so perfect that you will never feel that mother’s love and emotion is neglected or not included properly in the story. Similarly Leadership, as Rocky’s(YASH) takes over KGF he portrays the role of a perfect leader of 1.5 million people who believe he is a god. He always supports and has done a lot for those people who believe in him. Similarly Ramika Sen (Raveena Tandon) is also a great leader that is required for each country to develop and succeed.

The struggle of Rocky from a person who was unknown to everyone and no-one even cared whether he lives or dies to an Emperor who has saved the lives of 1.5 million and is the richest person in the world is just amazing. Then comes the faith that those 1.5 million people had on Rocky which led him to become the Emperor. The change has also played a very important role in the story. The change that Ramika Sen had brought after she won the election. If you observe carefully then throughout the movie many things are going on so if you just even blink your eyes then there is fear that you might have missed something. So this shows that the movie is full of suspense and thriller.

The Cinematography of the movie is just exceptional. Although advanced equipment was not used but still due to lightning and many other things the scenes were really amazing. Bhuvan Godwa’s work was superb. The magical and thrilling scenes which you will observe while watching the movie is the work of this person. Each scene gives such a natural feel that can’t be explained in words.

Music plays a vital role in each movie. The music director of this movie Ravi Basrur has done an extraordinary job and it can be seen in the movie. The music would give you goosebumps and thrills. I personally feel that the music has beautified the scenes to a great extent. Whether it is Falak tu Garaj tu which expresses the mother’s expectations from the child and their faith. Similarly Mehbooba which shows pure love feelings, Monster, Sulthan and Toofan which hypes up to extreme levels. We should also not forget to pay respect to the wild imagination of Mr. Prasanath Neel who made us forget the real world and believe in the reel one.

Now let us discuss the characters. So let’s start with Rocky which was played by Rocking Star Yash. I feel this is one of the masterpieces of Yash in his acting career. Rocky has not been shown as a total positive or negative character but still it’s loved by the fans due to many reasons. My reason to admire it is the personality, attitude and the struggle through which Rocky went through in the story. Similarly the characters such as Rocky’s Mother, Reena, Ramika Sen or Adheera had also an important role in the story which beautified it. I personally feel the reason behind the success of this movie is also due to the actors as each one of them has performed so well which is just unexplainable.

Similarly as we all know that dialogues and lines have a great role to make the movie. I feel each dialogue was just amazing that was delivered in this movie. The powerful dialogues have made the movie a hit and that’s a fact. Some of my favorite dialogues are, “Violence, Violence, Violence, I don’t like, 1 Avoid.… but Violence like me, I can’t Avoid” and“History tells us that powerful people come from powerful places…..History was wrong, powerful people make places powerful”. There are many more dialogues like this, we must appreciate the writer Prashanth Neel for this. If you go deeply then you can find inspiring quotes in these dialogues.

At last I just want to say thanks to Prashanth Neel, Yash, and the whole cast for making such an amazing movie who has given justice to cinema and entertained us to such an extent. I am waiting eagerly for KGF Chapter 3. I would give 5 out 5 rating to KGF-Chapter 2 and I would request everyone to watch it once as it’s worth watching.
