The remaining 8 spots in top advances of all time comprise of four Salman Khan films, Two Aamir Khan films and one each for Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor and Akshay Kumar. The top two slots in terms of highest advance booking of all times are occupied by films from the South Origin – Bahubali 2 and KGF 2. It’s going to be difficult for any feature film to replicate this sort of euphoria in terms of advance booking sales, and this is a first for an Indian film since the release of Bahubali 2 in 2017. There is Pushpa 2 out for release next year and it’s one film which is sure to decimate all opening day records, as the on-ground hype is at another level already. With a positive talk, KGF Chapter 2 has a shot at clocking a four-day extended weekend of Rs 200 crore. The Yash fronted gangster drama has sold about 22.60 lakh tickets for the opening weekend, and this count is expected to be closer to 25 lakh by the mid night.

But post the Baahubali franchise, we saw movies like Saaho, Pushpa, RRR and now KGF 2 banking on pan-India releases,” said Menon. “This is going to be the trend moving forward and all the regional markets down south, especially Telugu, will eye the Hindi markets more aggressively.” In FY23, overall Hindi box office revenue is expected to breach pre-Covid levels, driven by a strong content pipeline and positive surprises within regional content with Hindi dubbed versions,” he said. Amit Sharma, MD of Miraj Cinemas, said KGF 2 is close to the best-performing films including Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Avengers: Endgame in terms of advance bookings. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (Hindi version) had collected about Rs 35 crore in advance bookings. RRR, which was released on March 25, became the second-highest grosser at the Indian box office. All the shows for the first four days are going to be sold out,” Vishnu said.

Rathi believes it will earn Rs 30 crore in the Hindi belt alone. His early estimates say KGF 2 that hits 3000-35000 screens in the Hindi belt will earn Rs 35 crore on opening day. The wheel is turning again as cinephiles get back to the theatres for a grand 70mm experience, making things look better for upcoming big-budget releases like Yash’s KGF Chapter 2 and Vijay’s Beast.

The Hindi version of K.G.F: 2 with a higher opening screen count is leading the charts for advance ticket sales. Beast is set to notch up ₹40 crore-plus on the first day, with advance bookings crossing 1.8 million in south India, led by Tamil Nadu. It will also woo audiences from the North with a Hindi version. “If word-of-mouth around it is good, all records will be broken," Chauhan said he will discontinue with RRR to run K.G.F. in all four shows in his single screen cinema. “Beast is the biggest film of the year for us and K.G.F has been completely overshadowed here. Vishek Chauhan, an independent exhibitor from Bihar, said K.G.F. is one of the biggest films for north India this year and will run without opposition for at least a week. With advance bookings going through the roof, Hindi dub of K.G.F:2 will make a massive opening and possibly beat the first day earnings of RRR," Kamal Gianchandani, chief executive officer, PVR Pictures Ltd, said.

Starring Yash, Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Prakash Raj among others, KGF 2 releases in theatres on April 14.

The film’s backdrop may appear violent and harsh and in Neel’s words “hell on earth” but he said that was important to drive Rocky’s story forward. I am here to tell you the story of this guy.” So, the pressure is there for the way they are looking at the story and not the pressure of are we going to make money? For the second part, the team roped in Hindi cinema’s popular actors Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon. Actors Prakash Raj, Eswari Rao, Rao Ramesh are also new additions in the cast. Neel admits that there is pre-release pressure to live up to the expectations from the audiences. If the pre-release buzz is to be believed, the film is among the most awaited ones in Indian cinema this year. Neel, who made his directorial debut with 2014 Kannada film Ugramm, followed by KGF: Chapter 1, however, doesn’t believe in taking credit for the immense popularity that Yash enjoys today. We put in a lot of prominence to this (human element) while filming the first and second chapter.” We started out as a Kannada movie and eventually thought of splitting it in two parts and taking it outside. The two-part multilingual film, which had its first chapter released in 2018, turned out to be the highest grossing movie of the Kannada industry. “The human element is the first thing that we should put in a big movie. “When we started with the film, we never thought that it would be this (big) and that we would be here today.

KGF Chapter 2 Movie Review: Yash and Sanjay Dutt steal the show ... (India Today)

Director Prashanth Neel's KGF: Chapter 2 starring Yash, Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon is a paisa-vasool action entertainer.

With Sanjay Dutt, Prashanth found a menacing villain, who has an equal weightage as the hero. The sequel has enough meat in terms of story, which comes as a huge advantage. The second part, KGF: Chapter 2, shows the enemies unable to handle Rocky's rise as the messiah of the masses. Like Baahubali, Prashanth Neel did a clever job of establishing the characters and plot in the first part. Raja Krishnappa Bairya AKA Rocky Bhai (Yash) is now the ruler of Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) after killing Garuda. In Prakash Raj's words, Rocky has built an indestructible empire in KGF with his clever thinking and quick wit. The first part, KGF: Chapter 1, ended on a high note and managed to keep curiosity alive for over 3.5 years.

Overall, if you are a religious fan of the first installment and Yash, do give the movie a watch. I watched the Tamil version of the film and most of the dialogues in that language fall flat. In the first installment, Rocky (Yash) defeats Garuda (Ramachandra Raju) to save the people of KGF. And in part two, we see Rocky using these very same people to mine gold from KGF! The only difference? But, the almost three-hour-long Yash-led film wastes a lot of time giving a recap of what happened in the first part. He rises from flames, stylishly gets on a chopper, slays the enemies single-handedly with no visible effort, and walks in slo-mo. Our hero Yash's entry as the ruler of KGF fading into the frame in a dapper suit spikes your excitement.

KGF: Chapter 2 movie review — Prashanth Neel, Yash h..t out of the ... (Firstpost)

KGF Chapter 2 is far better than KGF 1 writing-wise, and the ideation is way better too.

Yash is all swag and sophistication, look-wise, and the desi English quirk stays with him in this film too. Yes, Rocky and his mannerisms and the swish of his hair will become meme magic. Now, one can only wait for Chapter 3 to find out what happened in the inky blue depth of the Indian Ocean speckled with gold bars. What I liked most about KGF2 is that there is no happily ever after, both in the personal and professional space. This is one director we all need to watch out for — he’s just on his third film and already has some signature motifs. This is that kind of film — that reminds you why you want the big screen, reminds you why popcorn is the perfect accompaniment for a good commercial flick. Even with Ramika, you don’t really know what drives her — love for the country or the power high of being a dictator? Art director Shivakumar J achieves something wonderful with the film — he suspends it in a semi-mythical zone, yet leaves it rooted too. The rest of the film is a series of set pieces where Rocky keeps tackling foes, including the country’s prime minister Ramika Sen (Raveena Tandon looking majestic and stern all the time). Rocky is still guided by his mother Shantamma’s (Archana Jois) words. The star of the film continues to be the monotone-filled violent world of Narachi, and its happenings. He’s your benevolent dictator, who removes people from the shackles of bonded labour and keeps work going in the gold mines. I can’t say the same about KGF2 nearly four years later — I hardly heard a single dialogue amid the hooting audience and relied on the subtitles.

KGF 2 movie review: Too much sound, a lot of fury, little impact (The Indian Express)

KGF Chapter 2 review: KGF 2 has hit theatres across India. KGF 2 movie cast: Yash, Sanjay Dutt, Prakash Raj, Srinidhi Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Anant Nag, ...

In her tasteful saris, and that trademark white streak in the hair, Raveena Tandon leaves a little more impact: she is also responsible for an act which has ensured the erasure of the wild and valorous deeds of Rocky from our history books. The film swings haphazardly between the past, which shows us Rocky’s devotion towards his mother (Archana Jois), and the present, in which he swings between being a saviour and the guy who cracks the whip and roars at the workers to never stop working. His unruly mane is still the same, but this time around Rocky appears in a series of sharp suits, standing out against the thousands of extras dressed in mud-brown humble clothes.

The first instalment sets the tone by showcasing Rocky's stellar rise to the top and KGF: 2 begins right where things were left off, albeit with the stakes ...

Bhuvan Gowda, the cinematographer, creates his own visual palette and doesn’t seem too bogged down by the period setting of the story – each frame, each swipe of the camera is beautiful and admirable. The main star of the film, however, is the exceptional synergy between Prashanth Neel and his team. Sanjay Dutt is certainly a striking figure on the screen in his Vikings avatar and is his imposing best in the breath-taking action sequences. As he expands the mining operations of KGF, he turns it into his hidden fortress and becomes a demigod in the eyes of the people, while Adheera’s menacing presence looms larger than ever. Prashanth Neel, whose story unfurled in a slow-yet-intriguing manner in KGF: 1, makes no bones about his intent with the sequel and cranks up the energy right from the word go. Vijayendra Ingalgi (Prakash Raj), son of the former journalist and author of the infamous book El-Dorado, takes over as the narrator of KGF: 2 and soon sets the context.
