The blatantly graphic Salaar: Part 1-Ceasefire spans three hours and illustrates the mind-numbing power of unrelenting violence. The audience is lulled into a desensitized state by the film’s copious amounts of bloodletting, which helps to make the shocks more bearable. This critic saw the Hindi dub of the Telugu epic, which is set in a less dusty environment than the two chapters of writer-director Prashanth Neel‘s Kannada actioner KGF, but it still generates heat that is almost as intense and rises to nearly the same decibel levels.
Salaar: Part 1’s first half tells the story of the tough, stoic, and unbeatable Devaratha (Prabhas), his bond with his mother (Easwari Rao), and his friendship with his friend from twenty-five years prior, Varadha Raja Mannar (Prithviraj Sukumaran), who is the son of Raja Mannar’s second wife and the current Khansaar ruler (Jagapathi Babu).
Salaar public review gets mixed reactions:
The film, which lasts for about ninety minutes, sets the scene for Deva’s dramatic entrance into Khansaar, a principality that dates back a millennium. In Khansaar, the ruling Mannar tribe is engaged in a bloody struggle for succession with the Shouraangya and Ghaniyaar tribes for the throne that Varadha’s father once held. Midway through the second half, the muted images are broken up by the dull russet of the saris, a few colourful umbrellas, and a multicoloured kite. Then, in the pivotal scenes, the sight of blood.
That’s not all, either. One of Varadha’s principal enemies drugged one hundred men over a period of time, turning them into ferocious hounds that scavenge anything red like hyenas. Khansaar is going to turn red soon, according to one of the two protagonists, either from leaping flames or flowing blood. Both are present in large amounts in the movie.
Salar: Part 1-Ceasefire’s primary draws are Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran’s solid star turns. The allure of unrestrained excess makes up the remainder of the film’s appeal. The internet has poured in some epic reactions on X (Formerly known as Twitter). Check them out below.

#SalaarReview Disappointed
???? 2/5#Salaar didn't live up to the hype for me. The characters lacked depth and their motivations were unclear. The action sequences are good, while visually impressive but felt repetitive and didn't add much to the overall story.

It’s Better to watch KGF2 or BAHUBALI 2 on OTT instead watching salaar in theatre .
Disappointed – 1?? Cringe Remake
The movie's repetitive storyline, revolving around friends turning into enemies, fails to bring anything fresh to the table. Drawing inspiration… pic.twitter.com/DMjaCxaRs4
