'Vikrant Rona' movie review: Kichcha Sudeep's latest is marred by ... (The Hindu)

While the first half of the film is wasted in character introductions, the second half moves at a snail’s pace. Before its release, Vikrant Rona was termed the biggest entertainer in the history of Kannada cinema, only next to KGF: Chapter 2. The film opens with a scene that is straight out of Rangitaranga. The film is set in a time period from half a century ago, at a remote village in a rain forest. While in Rangitaranga, the victims are pregnant women, Vikrant Rona deals with the deaths of little children whose bodies are found hanging from trees. However, the film fails to connect with the audience, despite the presence of Kichcha Sudeep, his actions, punchy dialogues, and the imposing visuals of a tropical rain forest that create an eerie ambience for the film. Though both the films have no direct connection, they resemble each others in terms of the narrative technique.

Dark, twisted and warped, Vikrant Rona is a 'messy' treat. Watch it ... (ThePrint)

Actor-producer and beloved 'Badshah' Kiccha Sudeep was right when he told ThePrint that Vikrant Rona is “nothing less than everything”. And that is where ...

The Badshah’s mannerisms, swagger, fight and dance sequences are sharp. What happens next forms the crux of the story. Vikrant Rona’s trailer is a red herring at best, because it is nothing like The Pirates of the Caribbean or Indiana Jones franchise. A dark, menacing ambience permeates the narrative, especially in the second half. However, the film doesn’t entirely fail in its intent to entertain. It has equal parts hits and misses.

'Vikrant Rona' Review: A Muddled Narrative That Rides High On ... (Digital Mafia Talkies)

The 2022, Kicha Sudeep starer, "Vikrant Rona," once again makes you ponder whether there is a widespread acceptability for the genre till now, ...

The film tries to ride high on adrenaline but in the process meddles with a lot of things that it doesn’t know how to handle or where to take exactly. The songs make use of unique choreography and music, but it cannot be denied that they look a bit forced-fitted in the scheme of things, especially because a suspense thriller demands a tight narrative that keeps you on edge at all times. The story takes inspiration from mythology and tries to portray the realities of an unjust society, but till the end, it all feels scattered as it tries to do a bit too much and add uncooked angles that could have been avoided completely. The film doesn’t give much importance to its female characters, but it provides great respite to me as, unlike its predecessors, it doesn’t demean or objectify them blatantly. “Vikrant Rona” is able to pull it off, all credit to the screen presence of its protagonist. Maybe it is a little over the top, and at times conveniently favoring and making things easier for the protagonist, but there is no denying that it provides a cinematically enriching experience. It made us realize that we don’t have to look up to the William Keighleys and the James Camerons of the world for inspiration when we have a rich reserve of stories embedded in our own culture that, for some reason, we have been reluctant to use. The makers have said that the use of special effects in the film is its USP, which is why probably many scenes are included just for the sake of it, which at times feels unnecessary as it impedes the screenplay and breaks its momentum. People said that it was the “Brahmarakshasa” who was responsible for the killings. The makers not only pick up references from Hindu mythology but also amalgamate it with the American comic character, The Phantom. Satanic rituals, a dark mythological character, and the setting of a remote village add to the murkiness and horror. In my personal opinion, the film had a great deal of potential, but due to some unfortunate executional blunders, it tanked, and once again, the thought of acceptability and cost-effectiveness loomed over us, after the consecutive failures. The 2022, Sudeep starer, “Vikrant Rona,” once again makes you ponder whether there is a widespread acceptability for the genre till now, or there still exists some dysphoria about it in the masses.

Vikrant Rona is poised to be the biggest South Indian language hit since Kamal Haasan’s Vikram, but that film flopped in North Indian markets. All-India figures were expected to be in the vicinity of Rs 40-Rs 45 crore, but the actual number could be much lower. Outperforming earlier titles such as Vikram, Valimai, Beast and 777 Charlie — none of which could cross the Rs 50 lakh barrier on day one — Vikrant Rona has made around Rs 1 crore in the Hindi belt.
