About Salaar

After taking the world by storm with his KGF universe, director Neel has introduced us to the world of Khansaar, the fictional town where the whole movie Salaar is set in. The film has two parts, the second part is titled Shouryaanga Parvam.

Set in a fictional place called Khansaar, the movie is the story of two friends, Deva (Prabhas) and Varadharaja Mannaar (Prithviraj), the two inseparable friends who turn out to be the biggest enemies of each other. The first part of the movie primarily told the backstory and history of Khansaar. Meanwhile, the second part will focus on Deva (Prabhas) and Varadharaja Mannaar (Prithviraj), but will probably show them as enemies as they fight against the throne.

The movie also has Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu, John Vijay, Ramachandra Raju, and Bobby Simha.

Salaar: Part 1 Movie Review: Prashanth Neel's film is nowhere near KGF.

WION's Pragati Awasthi wrote, ''If the movie is directed by an acclaimed director like Neel, then there is no complaint when it comes to Bhuvan Gowda's cinematography, the grand scale of the movie's production design, stunning camera work, and writing. Although the movie's story might not be striking and may seem juvenile at some points, Neel's direction makes it stand out. Compared to Neel's previous work, KGF, this movie is not as dark, but still high on brutal violence, bloodshed, and action, which is also a drawback at some point,'' Read more reviews here
