Darkness without reward. Prashanth Neel\u2019s film with Prabhas offers drawn-out violent spectacle but little innovation or artistry. \u201cViolence violence violence,\u201d Rocky says in Prashanth Neel\u2019s K.G.F. Chapter 2 (2022). \u201cI don\u2019t like it.\u201d It\u2019s funny because it\u2019s so untrue. Rocky loves violence and, after four brutal films, it\u2019s reasonable to assume Neel does too. It\u2019s his calling card: Rajamouli does the grandest action, Lokesh the hippest, Neel the bloodiest. <\/p>\n

Salaar: Part 1\u2014Ceasefire is my first Neel in a movie theatre\u2014though it felt more like an amphitheatre, erupting every time Prabhas chopped off a limb or put a spike through someone. Hearing an all-male crowd baying for blood first thing in the morning is an occupational hazard, but the bigger problem with Salaar is the constant threat of sexual violence. Of the three prominent female characters, two narrowly escape assault. It sets the film in motion. Deva\u2019s mother is on the verge of being raped when his friend, Vardha, eldest son of Khansaar\u2019s ruler, saves them. Thirty odd minutes in, Aadhya (Shruti Haasan) is surrounded by goons who call her their \u2018property\u2019 and grope her before she\u2019s rescued. There\u2019s a musical sequence building up to the rape of a young girl, and a big action sequence that just prevents another. It\u2019s a disappointing thing for Neel to thread through his film, and does nothing to alter the image of Telugu action as India\u2019s Neanderthal cinema.
