KGF vs Viswasam Review
KGF film clearly belongs to our protagonist Rocky (Yash), a kid from the streets of Mumbai who grows up to become a one-man army. While his greatness is established in the first half, there are way too many scenes that go on to show how kick-ass our leading man is, which gets tedious, especially in the second half. All pumped up and in a gangster mode, Yash does all the heavy lifting here and has more than a dozen fight scenes, most of which are choreographed quite well.
Ajith and Siva have collaborated for the fourth time in Viswasam – this time the duo has gone back to their roots. The film has more similarity with their first outing, Veeram, in terms of the ingredients included for fans and family audience. Like the latter, this too is set against a village which has its protagonist loved by the villagers for his valour and honesty.
